Mesmerizing Garden Spider

Yesterday while I was out creating my most recent self portrait I came across this most incredible Mother Nature creation! This is a female Argiope aurantia, otherwise known as a Black & Yellow Garden Spider. We have a garlic chive that blossoms every year at this time and this is just where I found this intriguing spider... 


In my research last night I found out that the Argiope aurantia species is known for their web creations. This morning when I woke one of the first things I thought of was my new friend out in the garden. When I rounded the corner I found her circling and dipping her hind-end every couple of seconds. As I got closer and focused my eyes I saw her starting her new web of the day! I couldn't stop staring... and staring! I had to remind myself to breathe.


These photographs are taken when she appears to be finished with her web... I will keep an eye on her throughout the day to see what she does next. She looks hungry!!!

...Waiting patiently...

Can you see something in the background?

Life brings the unexpected...

This is why we are trained to expect nothing!

...Live... Learn... Give... Observe... Explore... Love... Breathe... Be...

Northern Idaho - Harvest Season

Golden Hour is an understatement when it comes to this time of year and this time of day in Northern Idaho. I was about 10 miles outside of Moscow on top of one of the many rolling hills. In the distance, to the back of me, I could see the whole span of Moscow from water tower to water tower to Kibbie Dome to yet another water tower. To the front of me, it was just jaw dropping. What are the odds of a vehicle laying out a line on the dirt road at this very moment! Perfect, enjoy!
