My Inspiration
My Inspiration
This weeks photo prompt form The Daily Post, is inspiration. If you have been following this blog for at least a week, you know that I definitely find inspiration in nature.
I took the dogs for an evening hike along the river the other day, one of our favorite places to go. We came to a nice little spot to sit by the water, listen, and watch the natural beauty. A bald eagle flew over head, little fish were swimming near by, and I looked over and saw this spider web glistening in the late evening sun.
The sun was behind it just perfect, and I had to take several shots from different angles.
Most people would probably not even take the time to look closely at the web, never mind take several photos of one. But it was beautiful to me.
Then I noticed the tiny spider. Did he make this whole web himself, or was he just borrowing it for an evening.
One thing I really love about our life, is being in tune with the sun and the moon. Watching them as they rise, or set, is something I really love. The other morning the sun was a ball of orange as it shone through the trees. You can kinda see it to the right of the bright camera flare.
The same morning it was rising, this moon was setting. This is two days past full, but still a beautiful sight.
Everyone finds inspiration from different things. Some people like street photography, or people and portraits. Others like more abstract man made objects. But for me, nature is ever changing, and always interesting. To the grand landscapes, to the smallest details.
What is your inspiration?

Save those spider webs! You can do something fun with them around Halloween!
Cool captures of the web and the lighting! Lovely moon shot! Enjoy your day!
A woman I knew used to collect the most intricate webs she found and then mount and frame them. She had a technique of placing them perfectly and making them stiff and visible. It was a very interesting collection, but I couldn’t help thinking that nature should be left in place.
Mary! I see that I put my comment in a totally different space above…I hope you got it! Thank you so much for coming to visit my page. It means a lot to me that a photographer of your caliber would come to see my work. Thanks to you, I am going Pinteret-free and using nothing but my own photos. It’s fun! Anita
I see comments from both places. I am so glad you are loving your photography. It will just keep evolving for you.
YES! Evolving, that is the key! Thanks a bunch my friend. I miss seeing Torry and Roxy the foxy lady!
The webs are so cool!
We love what you find inspiration from and how you notice the littlest things. What we find inspiration from is totally different but that doesn’t matter. Love Dolly
Beautiful spider web photos! You captured it so artistically! I agree about camping and how the sun/moon phases become an important part of daily life. I always miss it when we arrive back home…
Like you, a big inspiration for me is nature (and my dogs)!
I love seeing natural things. It’s strange how a spider’s web can be almost invisible until the light catches it in a certain way. They’re also beautiful when covered in dew.

Nature definitely inspires me too! Spider webs are really fascinating when you actually look at them, or capture them in a photo. As long as it doesn’t contain a huge ugly spider! :)
Well, I love webs so this is right up my ally! Beautiful!
