Two Septembers ago, I was taking a walk at 8:30 in the morning when a neighbor signaled to me to cross the street to look at something. As I approached, she said not to come any further, but just look. A spider had, overnight, spun this intricate web which stretched across the sidewalk, anchored by a tall milkweed plant and a tree. It was so delicate and complex – it’s always a wonder to me how a spider can spin such a large and beautiful design in such a short time. Yet this intricate structure, in all its beauty, is solely for the purpose of catching the spider’s dinner, and within a short time, due to other forces of nature, it will be gone. The author of this amazing structure is sitting right in the middle – perhaps she is resting after all that hard work!

Wanderlust and Wonderment 
WOW!
Great photos of a spiders web, Amoralegria, the spider looks very similar to our garden spider, but that web looks huge! 🙂
Thanks! The sun was just right for taking the picture!
You’re most welcome, and you were certainly lucky with the sun, there’s been a good few times I’ve tried to take pics of smaller webs than yours Amoralegria, and the sun always seems to be at the wrong angle! Lol!
Same with me – we had a big web on our porch just last week but I was unable to capture it!
It’s so often the way, unfortunately 😦
But at least you get to admire it 🙂 My wife freaks at the smallest of spiders, I don’t know how she would cope with some of your wee beauties! Lol! 🙂
It’s so big. I’ve never seen one this big 🙂 That’s an amazing shot.
Thanks! I was incredibly lucky to get it!
magnificent choice! thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Terry!
That web is huge! Amazing.
Isn’t That Charming.
Thanks!
Wow – that’s a web and a half !!! 🙂
