I noticed the translucent warrior-in-waiting after a few glances, and I decided to seize the opportunity. After gathering a tripod and switching lenses, I cautiously ventured in closer hoping to photograph the encounter between it and its next meal.

A few test shots later, the 10mm arachnid began to dissolve into a Samurai visage, arms uplifted in mid-aria.  Look closely, and you'll see as well.

A sense of place can erupt from aromas, and flavors. Orange groves, mangoes and mangroves. Recollections of distant times and expired geographies. Sometimes the poetic fanfare, favors sight over smell and taste. Sometimes the sense of place implodes rather than erupts. The presumptive monotony of a morning walk along familiar and neighborly terrain, quickly dispelled with the glistening collapse of a spider web, a whitewashed bouquet lurking in the shadows, and a giant butterfly sunbathing.

It's the little things...

Sunrise.  Dog. Walk. Camera.  By now the routine is a pleasant recurrence...scanning for interesting forms. As I walked over these cellophane parasols, they reminded me of jellyfish deep underwater. Then I decided to greet them at eye level. These fungi are barely two centimeters tall.

I took a few more pictures along the way, but it was those tiny transparencies that made my morning.
