Construction Work

There’s something mesmerizing about sunlight shining on a spider web.  The light accentuates its intricate structure and dimension.  You can’t help but admire the hours of work and beautiful details.

“For a construction job done right, get a spider to do it.” ~James MacDonald

Monarch Butterfly and a Potter Wasp

This Monarch butterfly seemed content sharing the same flower clusters on this climbing vine with a Potter Wasp.

“It’s up to us to choose contentment and thankfulness now—and to stop imagining that we have to have everything perfect before we’ll be happy.” ~Joanna Gaines

Autumn Day on the Lake

A beautiful, cloudless autumn day out on the lake. The needles of the Cypress trees are turning a rich orange-brown color, adding to the beauty of the landscape.

The water level was the lowest that I’ve ever seen it. You can tell by looking at the lines on the base of some of the Cypress trees where the water level normally is.

“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love—that makes life and nature harmonize.”  ~George Eliot

New Every Day

I never tire of looking toward the west to see the lighting, shapes and colors which combine to create a unique masterpiece in the evening sky.

“How great is it to live under a sky that is repainted every day by the greatest artist.” ~Unknown

White Pelicans

A few shots of the White Pelicans that have migrated to Reelfoot Lake.

“A lot of guys like to go to the beach and bring a crowd, but not me. I like to be alone and out there with a couple of pelicans.” ~Robert Englund
