Web Frost
Uploaded: December 11, 2005
Found this beautiful web on the corner of my garage today. I hung a blue dropcloth from the rain-gutter behind the web, and had to stand on a chair to get this hand-held shot. ISO 200, cropped, then unsharp mask applied.

Carolyn, Renee, Margie, Silvia, and Bambi... a most heartfelt "Thank You!" to all of you! I almost missed seeing this - at my own house! (Cool indeed, Renee - the temp has been in the teens here in Spokane, but it had climbed up to about 22 degrees when I shot this!) #2175234Judy A. Lawhon December 11, 2005
Its cold here in Indiana, too, Brian and lots of snow. I love this shot...it was worth all you had to do to get it!! #2175256

Looks like a winner to me. Great shot and framing. #2179801Brian Lobdell December 13, 2005
Another big "Thank You!" Goshka, Marie, and Stanley! I'm glad I shot this when I did, as we're getting a colder front coming in and I don't know if I could keep from shaking the camera in single digit temps! #2183362Deborah Sandidge December 13, 2005
What a wonderful find and beautiful capture, Brian!! #2183529Brian Lobdell December 13, 2005

Thank you Debby! ...When I went outside this morning the frost had disappeared from the web, so I feel fortunate to have gotten it when I did! #2187268Rebecca A. Steed December 14, 2005
Amazing. I love the fact that you didn't just snap it, but you found a complementary backdrop to hang behind it. Great find and this just proves that every thing in nature can be beautiful (and I HATE spiders, so that's saying a lot about them) #2187275Brian Lobdell December 15, 2005
Thanks so much for your thoughts Becky! I'm not a real spider fan either... glad he was gone for the winter! #2188266
