For some reason, I like taking pictures of insects. Especially trying to find a good angle on a spider sitting on its web. In August of 2012, is when I first got my chance to start doing so. In the picture above, I was out in the garage and noticed something glint in the sunlight - it was a spider web!
Commonly called 'Ladder Spiders' or 'Banana Spiders' (here), the webs they create are unique by the design in the middle. This particular spider was about three inches long and the full 'ladder' was close to a foot. It allows them to actually shake and sway the web (often quite rapidly) to attract a weary flyer that might need a rest. Which, also become the spider's dinner. 🕷🕸
The contest I put up last week is over, I hope you all enjoyed the fun! We ultimately had 14 entrants (not bad!) that followed the tag and put their pictures on chain for us. The rules were super simple:
1st) - 30 HIVE + 25 LEO + 1000 PIMP
2nd) - 20 HIVE + 15 LEO
3rd) - 10 HIVE + 10 LEO
@summertooth and 
@zekepickleman for adding some extra prizes for everyone!Five Easy (?)... Memories from 
The picture you see here, I thought was pretty amazing. I am a big nature lover alongside my little princesses. We visit the parks quite often and will see various creatures - squirrels are among them. We have gotten close enough to touch birds and reptiles, but no mammals (aside from other people's pets) have actually let us get close enough to touch. Seeing this little squirrel eating from his wife's hand in 2017 gave me that 'awww - cute!' feeling. In line with the city life of 'more concrete and less nature', the photographs chosen in his post are mostly reflective of that. The final one of a butterfly perched on some thistle flowers is a great capture to end it. Thank you for joining in and congrats!

Sometimes, you just know when you have found the perfect shot, and seeing something like this from a few years ago that was an accidental capture, gives me a little bit of a chill - especially since it was taken in winter. HA! The whole post was put together well, using a chronological sequence that I really enjoyed. It started off with an adorable photograph from 2015 of her beloved little 'Sophie'. From later that same year, comes a rare encounter with her grandmother's orchid. The last two, you will have to go and see the post for yourself and I promise, they are well worth your time to go and see! Well done Jessica, and thank you for participating in this random contest I decided to spring on Hive. 😝
Memory Lane In Colorado Springs from 
Staying true to the theme and posting the first five pictures in her digital catalog, we have to congratulate you. This is the third picture in her first five, of a rainbow. This is unique because of the height from which it was taken. If you notice, the rainbow is actually below her line of view and she seems level with the clouds. This shot was taken in 2011 - on top of Pike's Peak! Over 14,000 feet high, there is no mountain east of it that is higher in the United States. Been there a couple times and it has an amazing view! She also wouldn't have the joy she does without some shots of her immortalized companion - 'Molly'. Finishing off the post of her first 5 is somewhat of a strange thing to take a picture of, but I have definitely had my fair share of interesting ones in that pile. Thank you for joining in on my madness! 😜
