Inktober 2024 - 31 Spider Web

Inktober 2024 Challenge

31 Spider Web

I drew the dried flower stalks then added the cobweb and spider in between the stalks.  This was done with black permanent marker.

I then added  a wash of browns and some yellow to highlight the web. Very wet to create texture.

This is as close as I get to Halloween.

It was a great distraction from the craziness going on.  I was able to focus and relax some.

This Morning

It was a foggy morning.

I can`t see the end of the bridge across the river.

Great to get a few pigeons taking off!

It rained most of the day yesterday and it was cold this morning (6C) compared to +30C for most of last week.









Water droplets were everywhere.

Check out the thorn hidden mostly by the water drop.

This is Japanese Bayberry - Rose Glow one of my favorite bushes.  You  don`t the color here but it is great.




All the spider webs where highlighted with dew drops this morning.  It was spectacular.




This is a droopy rose with wonderful dew drops all over it.

I love the upcoming rose buds.

You can see the foggy morning still hanging in.

This is a pink cosmos which is called Cupcake which is a double bloom.

I found a nice collection of leaves too.

Photo - Summer Camp

I spent a few days at Summer Camp this week.  I took a few pictures to remind me of how beautiful and restorative time by the lake can be.  The weather was great!  I took the camera out each day.  The chair on the dock, I spent an hour there just enjoying the sounds.  I did capture a dusty spider web, it was nearly a full moon and this is the best one of the bunch but it's not great, lichen on a piece of wood, and finally the mist on the water early in the morning.  It was a great couple of days!
