If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

My mother-in-law has a mug that appears black until you fill it with a hot liquid, then, her granddaughter appears on the mug. As you drink the liquid and the mug cools, the black fades back in.

Back when stealth technology was still an unconfirmed rumor, we were issued coffee mugs at work with a picture of a bomber on a radar screen. When hot coffee was added, the bomber faded away. Very cool... I think I still have the mug somewhere, but after 10 years or so the effect wore off.

This was originally put into much more commendable use by drawings (and other images) of attractive ladies on the mug, the heat making suitable modifications to increase sales of both mugs and hot beverages.

Walking back from work this morning when I noticed the dew hanging on the spider webs in the lawn, so I took some pictures with my phone. I thought I would share my favorite, which I just made my new desktop background. If you like it, feel free to use and share it.

Why is this not a downloadable thing?
I'm sure they're building up a nice collection of other people's pictures...

Could be. Automating it would be swell.

Nice. My photography is mainly of small and tiny natural things.
Much as I love spring and summer, autumn has the best characteristics for macro-photography, so much of nature giving it's last hurrah before the end; elegant details on seed pods.
That field is quite odd - so covered with webs.

Nice!
OK, the standard question: what camera did you use to take the pic?
And also, very appropriate for the upcoming Halloween day.

I used my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S6.

Wow! I'm impressed it managed to focus on the webs and not some other object. The times I've tried to take pictures of spider webs, my phone (Galaxy S5) usually focuses on something else.

Me too. I took four other shots and this one was the only one that focused on the webs and the dandelions. The others all seemed to focus on the trees in the background.

Looks like a lot of webs on the lawn. Spiders out of a horror movie perhaps? yikes!! Cool pic though.
