St. Andrew's Cross Spider

St. Andrew's Cross is clearly visible in this picture. The spider of that name is sitting in the centre of his web, waiting for his prey to approach...

Entangled...

Balloon vine tendril grasping lavender stem

Vine tendril grasping lavender stem

In this picture, a balloon vine tendril is reaching out and grasping the stem of a lavender flower. It looks a bit like a small snake or dragon trying to destroy the lavender plant!

Lavenders blue...

Lavender flower with bee

Lavender flower with bee
This photo has had a "focal b&w" filter applied to it, so that the edges of the picture are b&w, while the centre is full-colour. This brings the focus to the bee resting on the lavender flower in the middle.

Water Hair

Water droplets on vine tendril

This is amazing! All the tiny hairs on this vine tendril have gathered little drops of water, and are holding them there tightly. You wouldn't see this sort of thing when you go about your normal routine, you have to look very close to see anything special about this vine tendril. This makes me recall the verse from Isaiah: "fearfully and wonderfully made"

Mushrooms

Mushrooms

This group of mushrooms just sprang up overnight in the fork of a camphor-laurel tree after some rain. In this close-up, they look like a forest of mushrooms!

Water droplets on flower

Flower with water droplets on

A nice photo of a flower with water droplets on it. I'm not sure what the name of the flower is, so it would be good if someone could post a comment saying what it's called!

Tomato

Green "Bullock heart" tomato

This is Another interesting tomato! (see my previous tomato picture) You can certainly tell why it was called a "Bullock heart" tomato!

Water drops on grass

Water droplets on grass

Another rainy day picture! These beads of water look like they are just about to fall of the blades of grass - they are clinging to it on all sides very precariously. Some of these drops actually look like the ant eggs in a previous post of mine - http://davids-pics.blogspot.com/2007/01/ant-eggs.html

The Web

Spider web with water droplets

Rainy days are always good times to take photos of nature. This spider web has caught some water droplets, making it look like a string of pearls.
