I just went wild takin pictures of other stuff. It was a really foggy mornin....that lasted til nearly 11 am. Which is very unusual. Usually if there's fog..by the time I get back home from takin Lil Lilly to school it's all gone. Not today.

This is one of my favorite things to photograph. An old Buckrake that's sittin by a tank. There's so many different ways I've seen it..bright sunshiny mornins, foggy mornins, smoky days....etc and each time it looks different. This is not in Sepia tone...thats the way it really looked.

This is somethin you don't notice unless there's moisture. I've never noticed this particular kind of spider web...but they were everywhere this mornin. They look like hammacks.....or a cushy chair......

Great pictures, Jersey Lilly. You have the artist's eye for taking photos, that is for sure. Behind every cloud there is a silver lining, and you found it with your pictures. Good job. :)

Thanks for the picture story Lilly,we have those ole spiders webs around here,they are made by a big ole yella and black spider,seems like they like to build their web about head high,walking into one of them with that big ole spider close to your ears,gets you to swattin pretty darn fast...............good luck
PS They are called writing spiders,because their web sometimes looks like there is text in it.

Haymaker, these lil webs were all about knee high...and lower. Whole web about the size of my fist. After walkin around and lookin at them..takin pictures, it dawned on me that I didnt see any spiders at all in any of them.

We have them writin spiders too....ya learn real quick to carry a stick with ya when walkin thru the woods...to swat them outta the way. LOL Cuz your right about them....bein head high....I hate walkin into a big web.

I can't tell the difference between the creek and the pasture! All that moisture was here this winter, but it was white lookin' stuff.

I sat outside yesterday talkin on the phone on the porch.....it was almost too noisy for all the birds sangin.....but I stayed out there anyway. Pine trees are really puttin off the polen now....as I drove back from feedin earlier, it looked like green smoke behind my truck from all of it on the road.

The fog and that rake look so peaceful and kind of spooky..but it's still one of my favorite shots too. I can't get over all the water you have down there!!!! Breeding ground for mosquito's I'm sure...I really liked the spider web photo's too, we just don't seem to have much for spiders that make big webs like that outside...of course I've got a few huge ones in the corners in my house...lol :wink: Great fog pictures all of em...I'm so ready for some green around to photograph, getting tired of the old brown look!

OOPS. I missed letting you know how much I liked you pictures Lilly.

Your area looks so much different than ours, that we might as well be on another planet. lol. Right now, I am partial to your country, with a little less water of course. We wouldn't know what to do with it here.

The rake pictures are great.

Wonderful pictures. Not what I am used to call pasture ground, but that is what is great about the cow. She can live most anywhere and thrive.

Up in our country, we call them dumprakes. When I was a kid, I spent many a hot summer days riding one and tripping it for my brother as we mowed and raked praire hay.

Your more than welcome to send some of that water North.
