rainbow in a spider web?

Have you ever seen the colors of the rainbow caught in a spider web? I have seen it once or twice and luckily I was able to take this picture that I am sharing today.

One time I was in the garden just as the sun was just coming out. Its rays created sparkles in raindrops and some of them got caught in this spider web. The spider web then reflected rainbow colors as the light played on its intricate design. What a beautiful sight it was!

If you want to take a similar picture, you have to move fast because light changes rapidly and before you know it the angle of the rays may have already changed. The rays have to be at a certain angle in order to get this rainbow effect.

macro world

I visit my small garden almost everyday to look for things to photograph. One would think that I would run out of things to take pictures of, but no. There is always something new, a hidden world that probably escaped my eyes the day before.

Mind you, my garden is very small. One can go around it in just 3 minutes. However, these 3 minutes can extend to 30 minutes or even 60. In fact, I usually lose track of time once I focus my macro lens on the things around me. I love macro photography. Everything is so fascinating in the macro world. It’s very similar to working with microscopes which I used to do before.

Anyway, look what I found during one of those garden visits. Nature’s own handwriting! So I titled this photo – “nature’s script.”
