Fine mists.
First winter fog.
A day for the gumboots.
Whispers of 'Go to the lake Ally'
~Ally.

At the Roseville lake: Nocturnal spiders had spread veils over twigs, native grasses and wildflowers, all around the lake. Veils now bejeweled, as the first rays of the sun forging through the fog, fell upon them.

'Magical Moments' with today's 'Color Challenge' of Thursday Green.

Magical Moments:

I'd like to invite you to share any of your own 'Magical Moments' by using #magicalmoments as one of your five tags.

Magical Moments is not a 'challenge' ~ My vision is that it will become more a 'Curated Gallery' where selected contributions will be Upvoted and Resteemed and in time awarded ~ In some as yet unknown way.

Your article can be an image or set of images and/or words that have the power to transport your audience to the special space (outer and/or inner) that you were in, when you experienced that 'Magical Moment.'

So beautiful, I especially love the first magical moment. Amazing capture of the spiderweb - magical indeed. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so very much @abnortherngal

Seeing the web decorated with crystal like dew drops was such a magical sight.

Virtually impossible to capture the transient beauty of the rainbow flashes. Still, the photograph can take on its own identity now, which retains some of the feeling I had in that 'magicmoment.'

Perhaps you may wish to share some of your own 'magical moments' sometime? Just use the tag #magicalmoments.

MAGICAL MOMENTS WEB

This is so very beautiful! It makes me remember a #magicalmoment of my own, that I lived in Alto Adige, Italy at a place called Lake Prags (Pragser Wildsee) in the early morning, before the place were invaded by tourists. I'll begin to assemble the post right now!
Have a wonderful day my friend - Namste 🙏🏼

It makes me really happy that these impressions of my magical moments triggered memories of your own magical moments Patrick. Was wonderful to read of your magical moments in such a pristine environment without all the usual tourists. Thanks so much for contributing to the 'would be' Magical Moments Gallery with: LAGO DI BRAIES Namste 🙏🏼

MAGICAL MOMENTS WEB

magical moments indeed
that first one is especially beautiful

Thank you so much Jason. Easy to understand why seeing a web, covered in dew, glistening rainbows can bring back memories of childhood ~ When we stood in awe of so many of nature's miracles.

I would be delighted if you have any of your own magical moments to share sometime. Just use the tag #magicalmoments

MAGICAL MOMENTS WEB

They are magical indeed, those droplets are like jewels.

Thanks so much Di. The droplets of dew were glistening on all the grasses and plants, but were especially magical on the webs.

I have a few other images of the webs covering twigs that I'll be sharing shortly. Magical too. Perhaps not quite as magical as this fine web.

I love your photography. If you wish to share some of your own 'magical moments' please feel free to do so. Just use the tag #magicalmoments.

MAGICAL MOMENTS WEB

The morning was alive with so many magical moments. Grateful that some of them could be captured as these images to be able to then share with others.

Upvoted and resteemed.
