Default a web and a stuck parachute

An interesting partial web...like a figure 8

This dandelion parachute got caught

A line of 3 orchids, courtesy of the Lowes greenhouse!

My personal favorite for the week, if I am not mistaken this is a marigold just about to burst out in all of its glory.....I like this just the way it is. Tomorrow it will be unrecognizable!

Really nice shots. I love the marigold ... you definitely captured that at just the right moment. Perhaps we really should think about that book

absolutely.....marigold and orchids yesterday on the way out the door at work.....spider web yesterday too...can't for the life of me remember where I saw it. The dandelion parachute today......I shoot shoot shoot......if you move around to much, you miss the bugs. Stand still and life begins to happen and everything starts moving around you. It's just that when we are moving we don't notice that they are moving too!

Hi Patrick! Wow I really like the Spider in the Web. I looked at the largest size for awhile and it's very nice! love the creamy background.
Oh the flowers are nice as well. Love orchids, my wife grows 100's in our orchard in Thailand. I'll be there in a week and if any are blooming, I'll take pictures.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

You work a Lowe's? I've wanted to go thru Outside L&G for the longest time snapping shots of the flowers, but figured my co-workers would look at me like I was insane! lol,...I love the marigold, it makes me think of mac and cheese noodles. And you gotta love the orchids in the greenhouse. They tend to have almost perfect lighting too

Good selection Patrick, you continue to impress with your close up pictures and your ability to almost empathise with your subject. Good work
