Spider Web

I'm always looking for spider webs to photograph. Each one is unique and different. I hate not seeing one and walking into it. I'm always left wondering where the spider went. This one reminds me of a big electric fan.

That's a lovely spider web pic!
I know what you mean about walking into one. I walked into a HUGE one in Florida, it was so strong and scared me so much I fell backwrds! And the spider was left clinging to the remains of the web and glaring at me.... ewwww... nasty!

Is certain the webs they have a great charm. As more i they like, is after raining, when each one of the threads seems a string of brilliant...
This of course is like a gigantic fan.

Susan said...

That is a big one! I think of spider webs as finger prints~each very unique to another!

Dick said...

Hi Dot

A very nice shot of a spider web.
Walking into it brings you close to nature. Hahahaha.

Your right it does look like a fan. Great picture.
I hate walking through spider webs too - I do that a lot walking along the paths.

mrsnesbitt said...

Happy Birthday for yesterday Dot!
Both cancerians then eh! LOL!

Craver Vii said...

I have sometimes wondered if spiders can get angry. You know... they spend all this time carefully spinning their artistic wonder, and along comes a fly and ruins sections J-13 through L-24. Now Spidey may or may not be hungry, but that fly will be eaten just for damaging the web! I'm just sayin'.

Birthday? Well, a bundle of blessings to you, Dearie!!!

Lilli & Nevada said...

Great shot of the spider web Dot i just can't seem to get those kind of shots.

Nessa said...

This shot is gorgeous. I wish I could make clear close ups.

imac said...

Fantastic web here.

Linda said...

Your right - it does look like a fan. Glad you didn't walk into it.

EG CameraGirl said...

Beautiful spider web. I haven't seen any to photograph yet this year..or maybe I should put my glasses on. ;-)

Rose said...

You asked if I wished I could get into a picture--that is what I mean when I leave a comment saying I wish I could just step into the picture...so many of them call to me to come for a walk.

Andrea said...

Spider webs have always amazed me. I think it is so unique how a little spider can spin such a web. You captured a perfect web.

It's fantastic!

Dot: Very nicely captured, they do make great designs to catch their food.

Amy @ The Q Family said...

OMG.. How did you take that picture? It's amazing!

Suzi-k said...

hehe you are right on both scores, it DOES look like a fan, and yes, there are few things creepier than walking into one of these and wondering where the spider is.

Paulie said...

Good catch! I haven't seen any spider webs for awhile -- usually later in August.

Dancin Fool said...

That's a brilliant shot! So rare to find such a complete and circular web.

Max-e said...

Great shot Dot. For some reason spiders seem to be very scarce where we live, which I find very disappointing, because I find them fascinating creatures.

Texas Travelers said...

Nice web shot. Well done.

It's a nice orb-weaver.
Either a Yellow Spiny-backed Orbweaver or,
a Yellow Arrowshaped Micranthena.

Do have a closeup of the small spider in the middle of the web?
