Milkweed and Spiders
I wanted to capture the essence of Milkweed after a long search through PhotoStudio I came to the simple gray-scale filter that created this almost celestial being.
Coming out on a friends porch late at night we came upon a big spider. I put on the flash and pointed at where it might be. It was too dark to see on my phone’s screen. I brightened the web with Phototoaster. Used PhotoStudio of get the reverse image.
For the double exposure I used InstantBlend
Lens and Pens Monochrome challenge. Which one do you prefer?

Your perspective brings another view to an important summer plant. The post processing adds to its radiance. I’ve only seen two monarchs. Whoa is me. Happy Photo Challenge.

It is a bad year for monarchs I hear. They weren’t in their reserve in Mexico this year.
I have had a few Swallowtails stop by.

I love that first photo, definitely silky fine lines there. And you certainly did a lot of blending and toasting to get some great shots of the spider.

Really neat pictures. I haven’t seen any Milkweed in years. Know there is some around though. Seemed to be a lot more of it when we were kids.
