Window of Opportunity

When Husband yelled "Betty, come here quick and bring your camera," I instinctively grabbed my DSLR and not my point and shoot. I joined him on our deck out back and saw the beauty of one creature's work. It was really foggy (or "froggy" as Young Man put it) and my skin felt the heavy dampness of the dew, the same dew that had collected on the web to make it gloriously visible.

Nature's Gift (5)

By late morning, the sun had come out. The strong rays burned off the haze and the visible web was no more.

That is an awesome web!
I will not think about the spider though...it must have been big.

Tim wanted to know if you knit that! I told him no but that I'd bet you were working on the pattern!

I love that picture and the fact that young man calls it froggy. I did the same thing.

A very beautiful shot indeed! If only we humans had such natural talent as that! Amazing how they can be so patient and do something so beautiful.

What amazes me about spiders is that they just KNOW how to do that. Nobody has to teach them.

They are pretty, aren't they? Kinda makes me want to make a beaded shawl like that.

Can you enter this in a photo contest somewhere. The flowers in the background give the perspective as to how big this was.
