Pictures of Beauty

Now anybody who has been around or read my blog for long knows how I feel about spiders. Monstrous, loathsome creatures that are out to eat me. My Darling Wife took a picture of a web day before and I have to admit that it's a wonderful picture. The great redeeming feature of the picture is there is no spider in it.

Now opposed to this is a picture from yesterday of a spider eating its prey that she got. Quality wise it is a great picture but the subject gives me the willies.

Here is one I snapped of a red rose. I printed it out and gave it to My Darling Wife and told her it's better then the real thing, it will never wilt.

The kids horse, Nylon, was not to sure he wanted to come into oats with the boy standing there. He usually means work for him and Nylon avoids that at all costs.

And last on the parade of pictures is a failure. I noticed yesterday morning that a full moon was out so I stepped out and tried to get a picture of it. The picture of the moon was a failure but look at what I got. The moon's light backlit two trees in my yard and gave me a wonderful picture. It might have been a failure if I wanted a shot of the moon but what I got was even better if you ask me.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual. Edward Weston
