One of many.

When we walk around our yard we look a bit demented - madly waving a stick in front of us - warding of the dozens of small spiders which will have rebuilt their webs overnight. I've never really bothered to look closely at them but apparently they are quite cute.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fabulous detail xx

[Mary Siegle]

Cute is as cute does? (to paraphrase the old saying) ha ha Good picture of it.

@cruiser @mcsiegle Thank you both for your nice comments. Must admit - they are not so cute when you miss their web with your stick and they plaster their web and themselves across your face!! :)

@psychographer Thanks Lisa - I'd never realized that they had all of this detail. Interesting little critters. :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

LOL I would not necessarily call them "cute" but some spiders really do have some interesting patterns on them. Good shot.

@olivetreeann Thanks muchly Ann - it's wonderful how a camera makes you look closer! Cheers.

[Granagringa]

You did such a good job with spidey and web...like the background too. And I love what you said about looking closer! so very true!

[Rob Z]

@granagringa Hi Madeline - thanks for looking. When I read your comment I suddenly realized that I have no idea why he has a blue background - he was in the forest!! And I didn't do anything to it LOL. Cheers

[Granagringa]

@robz Oh, I know exactly what you mean...btw, just was reading something on line & the author used term "exposure bias"...see how well you are speaking "camera-ese"...lol!

[Rob Z]

@granagringa You make me feel so educated camera wise! Bit funny really!! Actually - very funny.! :)

[Marnie]

Yuck, hate getting a faceful of spider-web when I got out to the shed.

[Rob Z]

@golftragic Haha - especially in your hair!!!

[Delwyn Barnett]

@dkbarnett Hi Delwyn thanks for your comment. Seeing him like this made me have a bit more respect for them. :)
