I'm kickin' off the week with a Macro Monday & Close-Up Photography, post. Some Mondays I'll have words, other Mondays no words and then I'm sure I'll skip a few Monday as well. Anyone who wants to join in, I'd love to see your photos.
Today's guest is Ms. Marbles. She's a marbled orb weaver and likes to hide under leaves, often attached by a single silk. She also likes to hide under other things and lemme tell you, Ms. Marbles is fast.
Even Spider-Man would have a hard time keeping up with her.
In this photo Ms. Marbles is moving and I'm squatted nearby. My jeans are soaked because it's a soggy day. Not a complaint. There's something about close-up photography that when I'm in the wild, I forget that it's cold, wet and soggy out.
I love that.
In other news, it's a 3-day week for us, moving into a 4-day weekend. Hot dog and happy dance.
And in other, other news, I got lemons a month ago, submerged them in water and stored them in the fridge. And guess what?
If you guessed that weeks later the lemons are in perfect condition, then you win three broken Christmas balls, two rotten eyeballs and a purple toothpick I found in my couch.
You're welcome.
Gorgeous photo, Ivy. And your sense of humour is fantastic 👏
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. We have web weavers but they aren't quite the same pattern. And their legs are black.
ReplyDeleteLemons in water in the fridge? Will have to try that.
WOW, that's a fantastic shot of Ms Marbles.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm not a fan of spiders, but Ms Marbles is a pretty one!
ReplyDeleteYour detail here is amazing. What a beautiful spider she is!
ReplyDeleteNo matter my mood, you always make me smile. Miss Marbles is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteWow awesome. I'm not freaked out by spiders. I feel sorry for them because no one appreciates them. MS Marbles is a beaut!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and colourful, but now I feel itchy.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great photo. I've wondered if the lemon in a jar of water really works. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs Marbles!
ReplyDeleteWell...you sure captured a fabulous photo of Ms Marbles. I don't do spiders very well ever since I was bitten by a brown recluse!! I did avocados in a jar of water and they lasted longer than normal. Have a good one Ivy.
