Trick or Treat - European Garden Spider nails a yellowjacket in her web outside my window. This particular spider showed amazing proficiency and caught 4 yellowjackets in about 45 minutes. For some reason after one was caught and wrapped the others would investigate as if to try to help or attack the spider but get caught and meet the same fate. A fifth wasp tried the same but managed to escape after getting briefly tangled.
These spiders are also known as "Pumpkin Spiders" and are a lot of fun to observe. It's great having a lens that doubles as a near macro lens - makes some fun shots possible when I'm busy at home and can't get out. Wishing a safe and happy halloween to all and hope you enjoy many treats like this spider did!

MSH October 2023: Trick
Somewhere in a kitchen drawer, my parents used to have a trick plastique icecube with a fake spider inside. (There are lots of unexpected things in their kitchen drawers and everywhere in their house, like an ugly plastic chicken in the butter compartment of the fridge. Don't ask.) Anyway, they don't know where the fake icecube is, so I recreated one with a real icecube and a fake spider. Pixie was of course quite amused.

How many legs are there?
2, 3, 4, 5 or none?
Hope everyone will say "none."
Because this trick isn't tricky as "egg-trick." You can see my fingers.

I used Brickstuff mini LED lights to light the Jack-O-Lanterns. The lights are so fun to play with!
I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween. I'm a little early but I know I'll be busy with work around the 1st, so I thought I'd post this now... before I forget :-)
I imagined a little supernatural being taking a candy break from her Halloween antics.

This is a very disturbing image for me, and most likely for everyone viewing it. I recently been convicted about my personal sugar intake, and been inspired to create an image that captures sugar as an addiction. This is a sobering image to me. I’m not saying that sugar is evil, but it is a substance that can be abused like a drug. Ingesting sugar literally causes pleasure by releasing oxytocin (the pleasure hormone) in the brain.
I still like and enjoy sugar. A couple of months ago, I almost completely dropped sugar from my diet (excluding natural sugars like fruit.) As a result, I dropped 15 lbs within a month, and I felt great and had more energy. All because of sugar! (Or lack thereof.) I’m currently trying to find a healthy median between enjoy sweet treats (I LOVE pastries,) but doing so in a godly way. My wife bought me scones and chocolates last week for my birthday, and I binged… so this week I’ve been detoxing… Or trying. Yesterday I created this image, then promptly left for an event where I ate too much funnel cake. By another’s standards it may not have really been “a lot,” it was barely ¼ of plate. But it’s obvious my tolerance for it has lowered, because it was too much for me. I definitely felt it afterward: physically by way of headache and general grossness, and the sugar shakes. I’m not sure what a healthy “dosage” of sugar looks like for me, but it is something I’m praying through. I think the funnel cake hit me so hard because it was more processed sugar than I have been eating. Meanwhile natural honey, for whatever reason, is something I can eat without feeling a stomach ache, headache, or sugar shakes. For this upcoming week I’m going to keep detoxing, and perhaps next week I can pray through eating one sweet treat a day, or something similar… HMM!
Tomorrow I’m going to post a picture of the shoot for this image, and the process of creating it. I wanted to post them at the same time, but I just ran out of time.
To plant a seed that sugar is an addictive substance, and to share my story with sugar recently
I just got that Tiger Head from Nocik On Et$y she does amazing needlefelted creations :D

I heard a knock on my bedroom door this afternoon and look who I found when I opened it!

Our Minion got both a trick and a treat. The trick was almost 2" of snow and temperatures around 25F degrees on Halloween. The treat, of course, was the Fun Size Snickers. :) Average temperatures this time of year are in the middle 50's F. Almost all the snow melted later in the day, warmer temps coming back. Had to hurry to post just before midnight on Halloween, barely made it. Will post a few of our surprise snow fall later.
