Illuminate {The Sunday Creative: Aug. 29-Sept 4}

Illuminate: to brighten with light; to light up

Yay, I've finally got my pile of things to do small enough to join in on the fun! I loved this weeks prompt for 'The Sunday Creative', illuminate...once I found out what it was I knew I wanted to use the sun and its rays of light. So, my youngest son and I set out for an evening walk in search of those golden rays that appear just minutes before the sun goes down.

Our wondering feet took us down our gravel road and towards the overgrown dirt road at the end of the street. We like to take this path in hopes of seeing a deer or two and pretend we are explorers discovering the unknown, although it starts to get  a little secluded so we usually keep our discoveries to the familiar and within sight of the gravel road.

It was on the little dirt path I found several spider webs weaved onto some weeds. They were perfect! The sun's rays were flooding the field surrounding the webs and making them glow and glisten. They looked beautiful and I did my best to try and capture it!





Have a great day!
Brooke
