Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and happy day dear Flickr friends !
The stone shapes the portal, round,
threads woven from endless space —
universal energy flows through.

Still raining. Still trying to get to grips with the new camera. They made them so much simpler...and lighter...4 years ago.
I was walking through Mark Burnham Park early Tuesday evening and the sun was catching a network of small branches just the right way to create the illusion of a massive diagonal spider web through the trees. I have the benefit of having been there, and know what I should see, so hopefully you can also see the illusion in this shot. Wishing you all a gorgeous green Thursday!
This spider seemed to be repairing the area the leaf had trapped itself in the web , wrapping new webs to secure it I suppose . Would make a nice landing spot for unexpecting prey. The spider was actually upside down like shown and the leaf was caught up in the position you see as I was snapping the shot. No rotation was done to the image. Again another early morning light shot. Morning light is so nice . So many beams of light coming through the forest at that time.
Look in large if you have time . The spider has a really fantastic design on its back.
There were lots of trees at Corkscrew with these web sacks so I zoomed in to see. Don't know what kind of caterpillars these are.

Mona Hatoum
a large-scale constellation of delicate, transparent glass spheres connected by steel wires to take the form of a spider's web. The seemingly precarious web, suspended overhead and extending almost across the entire space, looks both fascinating and ominous. Web can be seen as a net coming at you from above, announcing an oppressive, threatening confinement, but at the same time can be experienced as a ‘home’ or a place of safety. This reminds us that spiders spin their webs to catch and entangle their prey. For Hatoum, the web also symbolises the interconnectedness of things. The glass orbs sparkle like dewdrops on the web, which in a paradoxical way is both seductive, and terrifying. Web is a stark but poetic reminder of the physically and psychologically trapping ‘webs’ we have to navigate through in life. Hatoum has used the motif of the web, in various materials, throughout her oeuvre to explore themes of neglect, idleness, mobility and control.
