Default Master spinner

I have taken lots of shots of spider webs, they are plentiful here. But I walked out my back door tonight and there it was... the master.... spinning it's web... I sat and watched for almost an hour, witness to one of nature's most amazing productions. I hope these shots show the beauty of the spider and the symmetry of the web (at least that was my intention). I went and checked a little bit ago, and the web was finished and it was patiently waiting.....(unfortunately too dark to pic to turn out)

Cathy, isn't it fascinating to watch creatures like this. our love of photogrpahy requires us to look at life differently and see and appeciate all the small thing. Like your first shot the best!

Oh Cathy, these shots are amazing. I'm not a great fan of creepy crawlies, but their handywork totally fascinates me. Thankyou so much for sharing your work of art with us.
