Feeling Powerful

How sweet a shadow can grace even the smallest of creatures with a powerful silhouette!

I do wish there had been something in the frame to offer a bit of size comparison. This tiny little guy's shadow was about the size of a dime.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Macro Monday: Caught Off Gaurd

I am a sucker for beautiful delicate flowers, especially those in vibrant red. So when I saw these pretty little roses near a marble mausoleums I couldn't help but snap a few quick macro shots.

However, a subtle movement in the corner of my eye soon caught me off guard when this amazing creature moved.

Needless to say I promptly forgot all about photographing the delicate roses and tried to capture this spider and his fantastic web. If you look just below his front legs it almost appears as if the web is sewn together with a tight but slightly messy cross stitch.

This strong web almost looked like delicate lace.

While I am not afraid of spiders and I find some of them rather intriguing I do like to keep a safe distance. Thank goodness I was able to zoom in some with my lens.

Macro Monday: Albino Spider

This little guy must like going for rides. He sat on the lawnmower the entire time my son-in-law was mowing the yard, and even stayed for me to take his photograph.
