A dark blue sunset with some highlights. This was fun to edit.

Macro of a small cap reflecting the front of our house. This was a little smaller than the cap that covers the bolts on a toilet, and reflective instead of porcelain. I found it on the street somewhere in 2005 and kept it.

A macro of four sharpened pencils against a purple sunset. You’ve got all the essential colors here… red, purple, green, and blue.
Sharpened Pencils 1-3 are really embarrassing, so I won’t be posting them.

A contrail in the sky in the early morning, left behind by an airplane.
I added a lot of contrast and depth to this photo. I think it looks much better now.

An ugly spider with red spikes.
Spiny Backed Orb Weaver (Gaster Acantha)
The most colorful and easily recognized Florida spider, having what looks like a white and black spotted shell on its back, and 6 pointy red spines. The web contains tufts of silk, probably to prevent birds from flying into it.
Females are 5mm to 10mm long, 10mm to 14mm wide. They hang in the center of the web.
The bite of the Spiny Backed Orb Weaver is not known to cause serious reactions in humans.
