Oh, you are the sweetest! I saw those pink, fluffy clouds, and all I could think was: “Belinda would like those. I have to get free of the wires.” But then, I really liked the wires in the end. You’ve made my life richer, paying more attention to sunsets and appreciating every day. Thank you!!

Thanks, I was quite surprised by that picture. It spoke to me in a way that the actual place didn’t. I learned something from it, but I’m not sure I can put into words what that was.

I woke up this morning a bit anxious about how to handle my day. I had a businesmeeting, a doctor appointement and so on. Then I read about your spider- bus ……And those words talked to the little girl inside of me who really believed that it was a bucket full of gold at the end of the rainbow. That little girl who seeked shelter in her fantasy when she was growning up. Suddenly after all this years, this Trolley spider -bus made me think of her. And that web was like a shelter for me during the rest of my workingday. If I fell, I was safe, the spider -web would catch me before I hit the ground. Thank you for that.

Brenda, I usually do everything to avoid power lines in photographs, but you incorporated them and made them the theme of your Haiku. I enjoy seeing things from different perspectives and enjoyed your post! By the way, thanks for liking my Atlanta Aquarium Video. I enjoyed making it.

I usually avoid power lines, too. I thought I would hate the photo, but I was afraid I would miss the light when I tried to move away from the lines. So I snapped the picture, just trying to have the lines head up the frame. And it turned out, I liked that better than the later photos.

Yes, photos are their own art. Sometimes they look just like I think they will, and other times, they have some extra quality… Thanks for your kind words.

It kind of does look like a spider web. But you know, it is not near as elegant or lovely made.

We are a poor second to the beauty of the real spiderweb. Yet, we have a certain beauty. Thanks for commenting!

We are a poor second….I remember waking up one morning to the glistening webs of hundreds of spider webs. The morning sun was just right. It was sight I’ll never forget. But then you are right: we humans have a beauty all our own (reflections of nature in our own special way).

I didn’t see the cobweb at all until I uploaded the pictures. I drove out of my way to get away from the wires in that shot to get a clearer shot of the sunset, and then I didn’t use any of those. Life is funny that way. 🙂 Namaste, Brenda
