Tangled
While out for a walk with the family we came across this waterfall. I found the tangled roots and textures particularly interesting.

Garden orb-weaving spider
“Orb Weaver Spiders This family of spiders is a very large one and includes over 2800 species in over 160 genera worldwide, making it the third largest family known.
Orb weavers are nature’s poster spiders. Their spiralling orbs with strong support lines make a highly effective insect snare. From start to finish a web, which can contain up to 20 metres of silk and 1,000 to 1,500 connections, may be created in a mere 30 minutes.
The building of a web is an engine eering feat, begun when the spider floats a line on the wind to another surface. The spider secures the line and then drops another line from the centre, producing a ‘Y’ shape. The rest of the web is then constructed before the final sticky capture spiral is woven into place. Some species of Orb Weaver spiders remain in their webs day and night [and certainly this one does!].
Remarkably, an orb weaver spider can weigh more than 1,000 times the weight of the web on which it lives. Orb weavers will eat and remake webs every few days – or sometimes daily – recycling 90 percent of the silk used for the original web.
Orb weavers rotate trapped insects with their forelegs while their hind legs pull out silk from the spinnerets to wrap the victim. Despite possessing eight eyes – arranged in two rows of four – an orb weaver’s vision is poor [he didn’t seem to even notice our camera and tripod], rendering it dependent on sensing vibrations from its web.”

I received all six G-Series lenses on 2024-03-11 and I'm learning to work with them.
On 2024-03-16, I traveled 5 hours to and from Tangle Falls in Jasper National Park (Canadian Rockies) to test my new equipment.
I used a combination of Reeflex G-Series Telephoto 2x or wide angle shot with a Reeflex CPL or NVD 1.5-6 filters and either #Reeflex or #ReeHeld. I don't think I used #ReeXpose but in retrospect, it would have been interesting to think about it. Oh well, it will be for another trip!

I spotted this Belted Kingfisher with what I thought was a float from fishing gearing hanging behind her. I was concerned she had got tangled up in the fishing line and was now tangled in the power lines. Fortunately she flew off and the float or whatever it was stayed there.
"This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time."

Tangled
I came across this spot last year while exploring the area near Surprise View in the Lake District.
Apart from getting bitten constantly by tiny flies, it was a great find.

I don't have any new pics apart from the ones I've made for the project so I thought to use one of them ^_^ I had this idea in mind for over a year now! I hope you like it ♥
A series of images from a walk up and over Helvellyn, via Keppel Cove in the English Lake District on a lovely late spring day in 2022.
I've been wanting to get some Spider web shots and I spotted this one this morning. I did cheat a little bit by nipping indoors to grab a water spray ;-)
This could (potentially) be one of a few uploads of this nature while I practice, and because I'm not 100% happy with the backdrop on this shot, but I can't help where spidey builds her web ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to visit. Any comments or faves are appreciated
Group pic of Rapunzel items this year.
That's it! Hopefully it doesn't get any more additions as I kinda got obsessed by the Disney Store line - whoops.
I'm hoping there isn't another Designer collection featuring Rapunzel as I just love the DS sculpt.
Well that and there's the LE 17" Ariel and Frozen (Anna & Elsa) I no doubt will want - the cgi characters just seem to turn out better!
This dark, tangled web is an object named SNR 0454-67.2. It formed in a very violent fashion — it is a supernova remnant, created after a massive star ended its life in a cataclysmic explosion and threw its constituent material out into surrounding space. This created the messy formation we see in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, with threads of red snaking amidst dark, turbulent clouds.
