My kids think these pictures are disgusting … I think they’re amazing! But in the interest of full disclosure, I’ll give you fair warning … if spiders make you squeamish, you may want to look away!
I am not a spider lover in any way, shape or form, but I am totally amazed at their web-building ability!
A couple of days ago, we noticed a small web on our deck. It was anchored by my Rose of Sharon bushes that are approximately 8 feet apart. I tried to get some pictures then, but they just didn’t turn out well, mainly because I couldn’t get a good focal point. This morning, however, we awoke to yet another web in the same spot … a web that was much bigger and more intricate than the first one. And to top it off, the spider was still working on it! So I set my lens to manual focus this time and was able to capture some fairly good shots.
Disgusting or not, I was in awe…
After spending a good amount of time capturing the above shots, I had to go in and help Katelyn with her hair. When I returned to the deck several minutes later, the web and the spider had mysteriously disappeared and this was all that was left…
Kind of strange, huh? We’ll see if the spider returns for another go at it tonight…
Nope I love them too! NOT spiders but the webs they create. Here is a cool fact my husband shared with me and the kids. Your web was built by an older spider. It is not perfect in design and has many broken areas. Young spiders create the perfect webs :-D As you have seen I dig taking a cool shot of their magic they create each day and night while we sleep!

Those are way too cool - you saw my last attempt with a spider web and I didn't have the right lens to really take advantage of it. But you nailed it. Love!
