This morning’s been so relaxing (almost 2 hours on trails in the park taking photos and renewing my soul), that I found myself at the grocery store when my alarm went off, indicating five minutes until the photo challenge theme would be posted. What was wrong with me? I wasn’t at home, hunched over my keyboard, ready to meet the challenge as quickly as possible! Heavens!
That’s relaxation for you and just so you know, I didn’t even speed on the way home. Before I forget, the theme is “Intricate“, something found everywhere in nature and in the human body. Intricacy is one of the reasons I can’t believe in evolution. Not meaning to start any arguments, but to me, it beggars belief to believe that all these intricacies just happened to happen.
Several years ago during a wonderful trip to Cape May, New Jersey, I went out one morning to walk in the fog. By sheer chance, I glanced to the side at just the right time to see this intricate bit of nature, enhanced by the fog drops. Soul food of the most filling kind!
This, that and the other thing 
Spider webs are incredible in their intricacy. This is a gorgeous take for the challenge.
Thanks, Angeline! I love photos of spider webs and am constantly taking them at the park when the light’s right.

Amazing!
Thanks! Have a wonderful weekend.
janet
it’s gorgeous janet! 🙂
Thanks very much, K.Z. Hope all’s well with you.
Just beautiful Janet.
Thanks, Sandra. Are you barging yet? I’m reading a book about France and thought of you as well as my s-i-l.
Beautiful, Janet. I love the crystalline drops!
Cathy, it took my breath away. If I hadn’t glanced to the side at just the right time, I would have missed it completely!
That is just so beautiful, Janet!
I’m very happy you liked it, Anita, and thanks for letting me know. Hope you’re having a great day and that the weekend is the same.
It feels nice to appreciate good stuff Janet! 🙂
We have a long weekend here. (so yay!) Wish you a wonderful weekend too.
A long weekend? Hurrah! Enjoy.
so very beautiful!!!
Thanks, Kathleen. I’m so glad you found time to stop by. Thanks for sharing your Friday with me.
janet
Truly marvelous, Janet.
Thanks so much, Norma!
Perfect.
Happy Friday to you, Leya, and thanks.
janet
Have a great weekend!
Wow… incredibly beautiful, Janet! Love it. 🙂
I’m glad, Amy. Enjoy your weekend!
Perfect for this prompt!!
Thanks!

I really like the words leading up to your photo – and Cee has a web in her post too – but so cool how they both differ and have nice elements. In yours, I really like the back blue – it gives the web and its jeweled drops a nice base.
and I like the mention of a design – and while I believe that things can evolve – a species has never morphed into another species – also – it makes certain people “less than” other people – and so sure things adapt and evolve – but just like I could not get an airplane from a bunch of steel left out int he yard, I also believe a Creator designed all of these intricacies – and if He choose to do it with a large bang and spoke it using light – that seems plausible and nice take on the wpc 🙂 ❤
I’m glad you enjoyed the words as well as the photo. I haven’t seen Cee’s yet, but I’m sure it’s lovely. I believe in a Creator, too, and also that there can be evolution within a species but not to something else. If the latter were true, I’d expect one day to go past monkey island at the zoo and see a naked person trying to get off. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy weekend.
janet
yeah – that is funny to word it that way about the zoo – but I think the claim is that it takes “many years” – but the holes in the theory are many and also at the end of the day it comes down to what I know in my heart. And I like that you said you were not trying to start an argument – said so nicely – and usually refrain from even commenting about evolution notes because it can be so hot and just a tough topic – so I am glad it was mentioned here so nicely,…
happy weekend to you too

Beautiful. I did a similar shot last summer. I don’t really like spiders, but spider webs are just amazing.
I feel the same about spiders and webs, Cardinal. 🙂
janet
Janet, you spied a beauty, showing the intersection of nature and human nature.
Happy Friday to you, Sally. This morning I enjoyed several hours of intersecting nature and human nature (mine.) Such a refreshing time!
I would always opt to be in nature over technology. A trusty lens is excluded, which in some ways helps me see nature more fully. There are moments when I just must be–nature and me. Sounds as though that was your experience.
This was a photo walk for me as well, as I’m usually walking for both exercise and to look around (and take some photos with my phone). But today I took my Nikon with the telephoto lens and my phone and went “off-road”, off the main trails and into the woods, by the river, etc. Got really close to a young buck and since he stood still looking back at me the entire time I stood there, I managed to get a few rather good photos. I have another area to walk in the next time I do this.
those glittering spider webs are the only pretty reason I can stand a spider… as long as I don’t see it! 😉
My feelings exactly!
My my Miss Janet. What a super shot. Mabruk! (Congrats – in Arabic!)
Vielen dank (thanks in German, as I don’t know any Arabic. ) I like that word.
Afwan! (‘Don’t mention’ – in Arabic again!). Tzchuse (‘Adios amigo’ – in German!)
Again, I know the second but didn’t know the first. 🙂
You are learning much tonight (Qatar time) from the Irishman in the ME! Take care.
You also. Enjoy the weekend.
Fantastic image for the challenge, Janet. It really is a very intricate miracle of nature. 🙂
I’m happy you like it. The intricacies of nature never fail to amaze me.
Such a stunning capture. Love this so much
I love that you love it so much, Raewyn. 🙂 Thanks!
janet
Nice web, Webb, posted on your web.

GOSH… It’s definitely gorgeous Janet. Those sparklings make it looks like jewelery…
Fantastic!!
What a dazzling web! So is the headline. Intricate . . . Web Version. LOL. Wish I’d thought of that!
And in my case, a web by Webb, even more fun. Thanks for visiting, Jann. I always enjoy seeing your photos.
Wow that made me hoot out loud!! Suggest you retitle your post with all that, ASAP, Webb on the Web showing a Web!
I just used “web version of web by Webb.” 🙂
Beautiful shot Janet!
Thanks a lot, Nicole.
This is really great, Janet!
Thanks very much, Svetlana. I appreciate your visit and comment. 🙂

Perfect image for the challenge Janet; lovely 🙂
Thanks very much, Andrew, and thanks for stopping by.
janet
Looks like we were on the same page for this challenge. Your photo is amazing! 🙂
Thanks! Maybe that’s on the same webpage. 😉 I like yours a lot too.
janet
That is truly a beautiful spiderweb – like a beautiful, intricate necklace. I almost did a post with spiderwebs for the same theme, but then the bird feathers got chosen 🙂
I thought it looked like a necklace, too. I glad you liked it.
