It’s all about imagination!
Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
Refraction is a wonderful thing with macro photography - this photo is created with a simple recipe; you'll need:
- a spider web
- a flower
- a mist spray bottle
- a flash
spray the web and put the flower behind, aim the flash at the flower and away you go!

I hate spiders. Like, a whole bunch. I got the creeps just editing this picture. No worries, though.. I made Ethan kill the nasty thing after I took this picture. :)
oh, and please excuse how horribly grainy this picture is....
(ps: sorry if you're one of those bug-loving people who don't believe in killing them or something... I'm 100% for killing creepy crawlies, and this one had to go!)
A spider web, spiderweb, spider's web, or cobweb (from the archaic word coppe, meaning "spider" is a device created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets, generally meant to catch its prey.
Spider webs have existed for at least 100 million years, as witnessed in a rare find of Early Cretaceous amber from Sussex, southern England. Many spiders build webs specifically to catch insects to eat. However, not all spiders catch their prey in webs, and some do not build webs at all. "Spider web" is typically used to refer to a web that is apparently still in use (i.e. clean), whereas "cobweb" refers to abandoned (i.e. dusty) webs. However, the word "cobweb" is also used by biologists to describe the tangled three-dimensional web of some spiders of the Theridiidae family. While this large family is known as the cobweb spiders, they actually have a huge range of web architectures; other names for this spider family include tangle-web spiders and comb-footed spiders.
This little spider has set up a very neat and detailed web just outside my lounge room window. I tried to get the web to show up as much as I can, but this is about as good as I can get without spraying it with water.
Old barn near Kremmling, Colorado. Late day sun after a fishing trip. I didn't fish, I took pictures :)
Earth (and some Air) for Macro Mondays Four Elements - I was re-potting a plant so this earth has a few roots in it. As the surface was inside the pot it is curved which is my excuse for not getting it all in focus
The spiders are working overtime on their webs. Here's a nice one on the lattice work of our fence. Looks best large in lightbox. 2011YIP

I was attracted to the way the light shone on the archway over Pershing Plaza outside Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Shot with a 12-24 Sony lens at 19 mm. There's hardly a line at a 90-degree angle. Looks a little like Salvador Dali on a bad day.
