For Nov. 1-7

(Shot with a Nikon D60)
catching some rays
Out the back door one afternoon, the sun was hitting this spiderweb in just the right way to make it look like spun cooper.

walking on water2
Shooting down from a fishing pier into the tannic water, the ripples can be seen as slight distortions and waves of light.

blowing in the wind
From this angle, the seagrass and clouds seem to be waving in unison.

Florida fall foliage
It’s not all scrub pines and palm trees. Look long enough and hard enough, and fall foliage can be found even in Florida.

(I wanted to upload a couple more photos, but my server was being exceptionally hateful last night. To avoid putting the desk chair through the monitor, I had to settle with only these snaps from the week. *deep cleansing breath* )

    Spider web: Awesome!
    Crab: Cute and cool effect.
    Grass: Pretty, looks like it would make a cool desktop image.
    Leaves: Congrats on finding fall in Florida, lol! You would have no trouble finding it here in the midwest!

    Wow, that crab photo is just awesome! I love the ripple effect :)

    And the final photo, your fall photo? Stunning! (I miss our colorful leaves, they didn’t stick around long enough this year…)

    Love the crab shot – took me a while to work out what critter it was!

    I love fall – the red leaves are just beautiful! We missed those this year as ours were frosted and browned early in the season.

    Beautiful. Thanks for stepping behind your camera and showing us the beuty of your world. I don’t know which is my favorite, but I can tell you I’ve never seen a crab up close and personal (only the human kind). And sorry about your server, glad you didn’t take the desk chair to your monitor. We would have missed so much!

    The first one looks like the spiders are making a CD. I woner what they put on their mix tape?

    I think the shot of the seagrass blowing in the wind is my favorite this week! I love it!!

    Superb! I’m watching the Green Bay/Tampa Bay game right now. Tampa Bay is in its creamsicle orange throwback uniforms. Puts me in mind of you and all your gorgeous FLA real estate…

    That’s a crab?! Very interesting. I liked the grass pic best-it’s relaxing :) Hope your computer troubles are soon over :)

    I learned something new…I really didn’t think Florida had fall foliage! Love the web and the crab. I had a similar pic of the grass and the sky this week too – too funny!

    WOW great shots! I love the one taken looking down in the water of what looks like a crab.

    thank you so much for sharing your weekly winners.
