If you look close enough you will see that there is a small spider in this photo. I did not notice it until I was processing in it in PSE. I love these mountain wildflowers. These are actually mountain laurel and this was in the Dolly Sods Wilderness area. I love taking bee and spider macro shots. One day I will be able to take even better images with a higher quality lens but for now this is the best I can do. I really enjoyed taking these as I stood for hours on end watching these bees and butterflies.

Early in the morning as I walk through the Canaan Wildlife Refuge I see many sites all around that make wonderful subjects to take pictures. But I look down and see this tiny spider web laden with dew in the grass and decided to get down on the level with this web and the forest floor creatures. In the spring spiderwebs and various other creatures come to life early in the forest and the dew of the morning gives a surreal feeling of peace and tranquility.
