Deb Koskovich January 05, 2008

Mitch, you cracked me up with this one -- what a great image!! #5295910

Mitch Spence January 05, 2008

OK, ta da! I will announce what this is. It's spider webs. Yes, Dianna, yuk, but they do build them here around the lake at sometimes supersonic speed it seems. :) #5296592

Lorraine A. Cook January 05, 2008

Hubby was a letter carrier for 30 years....I MUST show this to him, Mitch!(LOL)<:)) #5296636

Sandra R. Alvey January 05, 2008

Whoa. I thought Stillwater mail ran slow. LOL! Great find and so well seen and captured Mitch! #5298204

Nikki McDonald January 06, 2008

Did you put this in EOD or Catch-All, Mitch? I think I would have tried EOD first--I just love the simplicity, lines and repetition in the overall composition as well as the interest in the spider webs. I particularly like that there is room for more boxes--that additional space offsets what could have been too much symmetry and adds to the design, I think. Congratulations on the Editors Pick. #5299664

David Pratt January 06, 2008

Talk about snail mail! Terrific image Mitch! This is outstanding! #5300256

Mitch Spence January 06, 2008

Thanks, Lorraine, Sandi, Nikki, and Dave. Lorraine, if your husband was a rural carrier, he'll certainly relate to this. Lots of "stuff" ends up in and around those boxes sometimes that shouldn't be there. And they are a wonderful bunch, those carriers, I must say. :) Nikki, no, once again, it wasn't in EOD. Although you're probably right about the category, oddly, I put it in details and macro. #5300618

Vicki L. Filippin January 08, 2008

What a fabulous find, Mitch! I concur with all the design comments that Nikki made.

Susan M. Smith January 21, 2008

Mitch, I'm with Les - what a pleasure to see another PG101 member with a POTD. I just love it, well deserved, wooohooooo :) #5371497

Mitch Spence January 21, 2008

Thanks again, to everyone. Your congratulations warm my heart. #5371820

Carol Teal January 21, 2008

This is such a great image Mitch! So funny with all the spider webs...seems more like a slow month, not just a slow day! :D And you aren't going to believe this, but just as I was starting to write this, I saw something out of the corner of my eye and it was a SPIDER crawling on my computer desk by my mouse! I never see spiders in the house; maybe he crawled right out of your photo! LOL I killed him, as I hate the things and am quite afraid of them too. Anyway, I love this image and a HUGE congrats on your well-deserved POTD!! #5371821

Mitch Spence January 21, 2008

That's funny, Carol. Maybe your spider recognized the webs in the photo and was heading for those. :)I'm not really crazy about spiders either. I can tolerate the little ones, but it's those great big furry wolf-spidery ones that pretty much make me shudder. #5372257

David Pratt January 21, 2008

COngratulations Mitch! #5372940

Hi Mitch,
Congratulations on your POTD for this unique and interesting picture. A rare and wonderful scene. #5408204

Mitch Spence February 10, 2008

A belated thanks to you, Dave, Colleen, Jeff, Cassie, and Charlene. Been totally out of touch, on a trip for a couple of weeks. #5474278

Laura E. Swan February 10, 2008

WOW! LONG TIME NO HEAR, eh???

Gosh. Really. This picture is sorta sad. Makes me want to write to them all so they don't feel so forgotten!

This photo surely tells a story...whether I am reading it right or not, it speaks to me! -Laura Swan #5474575

Mitch Spence February 10, 2008

Hi, Laura. Thanks much for coming to look. I appreciate your comment very much. #5474584

Steven E. Ray February 21, 2008

I agree with those above... this was a super find. Strong paradox. What is to be open by human has been webbed by creature. What is new is webbed as to look old. All in order but some are missing. Very interesting photo and results in a study of it. Love it. #5527415

Mitch Spence February 22, 2008

Steven, thank you. Your always thoughtful comments are very much appreciated. #5531725
