Generally quite dark compared to other orb web spiders and can be found close to water where their webs are spun on fencing, buildings and bridges and rarely on vegetation. Close to a river near me where I live a river flows under a road in a tunnel these Orbweb spiders can be found and seen in their webs close to the lights that help to light up the pathway where they have the best of both worlds, warmth from the lights where I have even seen the adults spiders here in February with snow outside and plus their prey such as moths and flies are attracted to the lights also. Its amazing to see their webs so close together and not eating each other, nature can be truly amazing at times.

The other night there was a hard frost and when I went back to the park's garden, the dahlias were toast - they'd turned black and had keeled over. To cheer myself up, I thought I'd brighten this scene by modifying colours and adding an effect in Topaz Studio. HSS!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! I love hearing from you! Have an amazing day!

My previous post, which I called “To the Dark Side”, was of a tunnel leading under a busy street in Windsor, Ontario. Well, this photograph is from the other side of that tunnel, as the sun began to rise at John’s Pond. Sometimes the dark side turns out to be something beautiful.
I had other photos lined up to post ... then this little guy landed on an unopened zinnia blossom. And let me get REAL close! That's our big pink hibiscus blooming in the background. Pachydiplax longipennis in our North Georgia yard on a rainy day.

This is the second of two tugs that assisted/followed the Carnival Liberty out of the Harbor on St. Kitts in the summer of 2015. I had to capture these (there was another almost twin) because I loved the colors, especially after the rain. They were so vibrant compared to some of the others we had seen on our trip. This one is the Anjanvel. She helped fuel my desire to find and capture tugs and other work boats wherever I go.

Happy Wall Wednesday ;-))
The male Vermilion Flycatcher has such a distinctive look. Probably has to do with the thick, black eye-line. Like the female is a busy little bee. So much fun to watch. Wish we could see this beauty further North.

Little bitty blues bird flies
And gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright!"
Salendo lungo la scala mi accorsi con la coda dell’occhio che sulla destra la mia ombra scendeva insieme ad altre figure silenziose … ma quando mi volsi a sinistra per sapere chi scendesse verso di me vidi solo la scala vuota … mi dissi che, chiunque fossero, erano già passati, ma forse invece non era passato e non sarebbe più passato nessuno …

I saw the clouds moving in, as the sun was about to set, the other evening and immediately started scrambling around looking for something to use as foreground interest. The only thing I could find was this old gate. I know it is just a gate, but I thought it turned out kind of nice!! Comments and constructive criticism are always appreciated. Have a great week.
it heightens red, and there is no flower or ripe fruit which it does not set off to greater advantage... it is both gay and modest, bright and tender. Green can only awaken amiable and gentle thoughts, remembrances gracious as those of spring, and other promises of nature: green gives repose to the mind, as it does to the sight :-)

HGGT!! Best wishes to one and all for a wonderful holiday season!
piney lake, vail, colorado
got up early Saturday to catch sunrise, the overcast clouds had other ideas and created a different mood than was expected
The other plants you passed up because
they were too prickly or
too ugly...
they were the safe ones.
Me, I am intoxicating
my beauty is transfixing.
You cannot resist admiring
or leaning in.
But, the joke is on you, fool.
Because I am going to eat you alive
Devour you like the carnivore I am
and eat your heart out first.
The other plants will watch in terror
In a way, they are weak of heart and spirit
They spend all their energy
trying to get you to trust them.
Yet, you fall prey to me!
Devoured like a sworn enemy
and yet, I have nothing against you
except maybe you should have heeded the words...
Don’t ever trust in the unkindness of beautiful strangers.

The other Trouble in Mind band I saw with super fun indie pop songs was En Attendant Ana. I hesitate to post two photos in the same day, mainly because I get the people lead busy lives, but I want to get back to some of my New Mexico photos. It's hard to balance everything considering I am always taking, if anything, too many photos. And, I always thought I was just a concert photographer but then I became really interested in street photography and then nature photography so perhaps I lack focus or else there is just not enough hours in the day.
You should really listen to En Attendant Ana from Paris!!!

While storms and squalls were approaching from the west, this was the view on the other side, all sweetness and light. I'm always drawn to the dramatic, but found it hard to resist this beautiful late afternoon panorama. Not a soul about and clouds flying across, hard to beat really. The other side by Ron Sexsmith is fine.
Initially I couldn't decide which photo to upload first. Between this and 'Worth The Wait'. The prior ended up being chosen first. But I still wanted to upload this one as well.

Call them flyover states, the sticks, rural, back of beyond, whatever you wish, but places like this are the heartbeat of America. In Wisconsin.

What others dreamed
Read, read, read, the soul forgets
the things that happened
Those that remain remain, the fictions,
feather flowers,
the solitary, human creations,
the dregs of the foam.
Read, read, read; will i be reading
tomorrow me too?
Will I be my creator, my creature,
I will be what happened?

I was wandering around the Evora garden during lunchtime and I spotted three peacocks resting. As I only have my 35mm lens with me I moved closer towards them. None of them moved. So, I got even closer and got down to their level for this picture.
Evora Public Park was built by the municipality between 1863 and 1867. The grounds where it is located were once part of King Manuel’s royal vegetable garden and S. Francisco Convent.
The garden was conceived by the Italian architect and set designer José Cinatti, who also coordinated its archeological and gardening work. His creation is intimately connected with the Romantic ideal of past gardens and also with the use of this space as a social one, of elite reunion and the classes starting to go up the social ladder.
Evora Public Garden covers an area of about 8.2ac (3.3ha) with a vast concentration of trees, mostly species brought from other places, colourful flowerbeds and small lakes.
