Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Nature…Pause workout!

Go out just when the sun begins to peek over the horizon or above the trees and there has been rain recently or the dew is thick and you’ll see evidence of industry putting that of Rumpelstiltskin to shame. Every ray of sun picks out another spider web, seemingly covered with glittering diamonds. Webs decorate the grass, span bushes and trees, lying close at hand and everywhere in the distance. A photographer’s paradise, every web beckons, inviting you to enjoy and share the story of its beauty, whether small or large.

I fall prey continuously, as surely trapped as any insect, pressing “Pause workout” on Map My Ride time after time, moving only a few feet until the next web presents itself. Finally, I move into my rapid walking pace…only to stop for “just one more” photo.

When I return the next day, the webs are invisible, gossamer threads hidden, until once more moisture descends.
