Spiders Web and Dew Drops

Being unsettled with the creatures that inhabit these webs, I am so amazed at the structures they create and how precise they are geometrically. I love the way the droplets of water hang in this web replacing the creature that made it.

Dancing Dewdrops

This was a morning where all the drops collected on the tips of the grass blades, appearing as if they were people moving to the music while the disco ball illuminated their heads.

A tree has fallen and new life begins.

Splashing Droplet

With the rainy weather we've had the past week, I challenged myself to make use of the rain instead of being discouraged by it. I am happy I stayed persistent.

Vine Berries

I have come across these vines numerous times on my walks in the Elm Creek Park Reserve in Maple Grove, just northeast of Minneapolis. The berries have been blue in color but I have also seen them in white. It is fascinating to me the way the berries hang from the ridged stems and the vivid color contrasts. I will need to research to see if it's the same vine or not.

Rain Drop

After an early morning rain, I poured my first cup of coffee and headed outside to see the water droplets. This one caught my eye and the camera came out.

Mistletoe in September

These white beauties reminded me of Mistletoe when I saw them. I managed to get as close as I could to avoid the nasty itch weed plants, unfortunatly I developed a rash on my legs that is taking forever to heal.
