A spider’s web is brilliantly illuminated by a parking lot’s lights. My hand held camera resulted in some shake, therefore resulting in some blurring.

Blue Jay.
I feed songbirds. A side effect is that seeds are scattered throughout the yard, so sunflowers spring up all over. We let them grow, flower, and go to seed.
Today a gang of eight Blue Jays descended on the sunflowers. I was able to photograph this one from the kitchen.
Play ball.
Baseball’s 2019 World Series starts a little later tonight. The favoured (and my favourite team) Houston Astros play the Washington Nationals. While I hope Houston wins I’d rather they lose a well-played Series than win a sloppy set of games.

Along came a . . .
spider. This one set up shop a while ago on the side of our house, sheltering behind a downspout when necessary. I think it’s an Araneus nordmanni. We don’t mind it being here. It serves a purpose.
Sassafras
Came across many Sassafras saplings during a walk in a bush. It was good to see so many seemingly healthy specimens.
Mistaken
This close-up of small ferns growing out of a fallen log could easily be mistaken for a close-up of a conifers’ leaves.
Bark
Not a dog bark, tree bark. We came cross a Sassafras tree during a walk in a nearby bush, and its’ bark made a very interesting subject.
Grains
A sand traps’ sand grains made an interesting subject.
Insignificant
I recently visited Niagara Falls and rode the boat ‘The Maid of the Mist’ into the base of American and Horseshoe Falls. This photo doesn’t begin to show their power. You must be there, ride the boat, to begin grasping how tiny and insignificant humans really are.
See the people on the walk to the left of the Falls? That’s what we are. We are tiny little nothings when compared to grand enormous sweep of All That Is.
Silhouetted
A Turkey Vulture is silhouetted against the sky.
