Skelly for Halloween

trying to reduce the stuff I keep...slow work because of sentiment, memories and regrets I'm not fit to work .....etc
So before 10yr old Skelly is thrown in the bin.....here he is...

made of cotton buds and sellotape ...looks better in the dark in torchlight or firelight... dancing on the end of a string. 

Fear and Photos

Someone put on Facebook ...if you want to know what someone fears losing... watch what they photograph... Well... of course you photograph your loved ones...events holidays and special occasions etc so we can share the occasion with others....but do we really fear losing them or the memory of the location or occasion?
What does it really say about us ? Wayne keeps us up to date with the scummy food his wife feeds him...Graham keeps us up to date with his bike and bike rides.....Nic keeps us up to date with her fabulous paintings... what is it they fear losing !
I photograph odd stuff...maybe because my grandchildren live away and when they are here I'm too busy enjoying playing with them to take many pictures... so odd stuff... wonder what it is that I fear losing...
The window cleaner was due so I dashed out to snap some of the huge spiders webs that would be in his way when he carried the ladder round... beautiful gossamer lace suspended in mid air..like crochet doilys  festooned around the yard...

some days they are 2ft across...made by the common striped garden spider which the children call the tiger spider...

So what do I fear losing ? 

Well I do know its not spiders ! Urgh...

Maybe its the childlike wonder in natural beauty. Dripping with sparking gem stones in the sunlight...ignoring the adult knowledge that in reality they are death traps for the spiders dinner.....
