Hanging by a Thread

An industrious spider (upper left) and a leaf gently swinging in the breeze, caught on a strand of filament. I think I'll leave it and see how long it remains.

September Spiders

It's that time of the year again when the fog hangs on the webs.

Dew Drenched Spider Web

Spiders Close-up

Spiders are everywhere so I decided to catch a few close up and personal.

I had my lens focused on the fellow on the left when the long legged spider on the right came wandering along the web. The instant after this photo he high tailed it out of there.

It's that time of the year when there are spiders everywhere.

Industrious Spider

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I was as industrious as spiders.

Pink Rose

We're having a few days of rain. Yesterday I saw this tiny spider get some work done during a break in the downpour.

Fog Drenched Spider Webs

Fog helped to highlight these spider webs.

This is what the entire bush looked like and what follows are more of the individual webs.

Spider

This one made his (or is it her) web right next to the picture window. I couldn't resist. I got out my close up lens and had fun.

Spider Web Pearls of Fog

Fog Shrouded Spider Web

We have had heavy fog so I took my point and shoot camera with me on my daily walk. I've not changed the color on this image at all. Even though the fir was green, the camera made some mysterious color adjustment. I liked it so left it as it was.

October Spiders

It is that time of the year again when spiders are visible in abundance.

Lavender and Fall Colors

The autumn colors have not been all that great this fall.  I had been thinking of how to catch some of it yet knew I could not find enough for an entire composition.  When I saw this lavender, I thought it might be the answer.  I was excited to spot the spider web.  I set my camera to a low f-stop so the maple tree in the back ground would be out of focus.  It took a little planning and bending but was worth the effort.

October Spiders

Is it just me or are there more spiders than usual this fall?

The foggy mornings really help spot the webs. 

This must be prime property.  A spider high rise condo?  Are there spider real estate agents?

Moths, Bees and a Spider

I am still having fun getting some of those close-ups in the garden.  Hand held, I take about twenty shots to get a good one in focus.
