Spotted on a fern by the door of the studio where I work out. Last fall there was a huge one laying eggs in the walkway and i am wondering if this is one of the babies.
How amazing is that design in the web right! Great capture. Not a baby anymore......now, how much does a spider travel........no idea....can't go too far I would think....It may well be one of the babies.
Could be I suppose. I like the way these spiders "scribble" out part of their web. Good shot! Oh, and I think you could tag this for the macro outdoors challenge (macro-outdoors) too (as well as 30DaysWild2022 even if you're not doing the whole month).
I don't think I've ever seen a spider or web like these. Interesting. I think it could very well be one of the babies going out on it own. Surely they don't move too far away.
@madamelucy Thank you for sharing this. I read it in its entirety, even though spiders give me the creeps so I had to try to keep the spider “off screen” while reading and enjoying the intricate webs! 😊
I think you know how I feel about spiders, so I was tempted to just quickly comment about the amazing web. But then I started to notice the lovely composition (as always!) and some of the things that struck me about the shot. Like the way the light falls on the foreground leaves. And the beautiful dark green bokeh that provides the perfect background to make the main subject stand out. All details that I had to quickly focus on while trying to keep my eyes off the spider! 😂😂
@dutchothotmailcom I am so glad you like it Esther thank you. He really is still quite small and I hope I get a chance to see how he grows @shutterbug49 I thought it was too Debbie thank you @wyomingsis It sure makes it easier to see doesn't it? thanks @olivetreeann thanks Ann I will do that for the macro challenge @madamelucy thank you Terri and thank you for the link too It was very intresting @eudora That surprises me Diane they are everywhere around here . I suppose I will never know for sure @ludwigsdiana I am so glad you hear you like it Diana @30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL Thanks Jackie @kjarn It is certainly easier to see isn't it? @koalagardens I totally agree with you Katrina @wakelys I thought so too @juliedduncan LOL @marilyn I have to say I am impressed with the in depth analysis knowing your abhorrence for spiders. thank you for that @randystreat I have never heard of that before but when I looked it up I think this looks just like onealthough not as dark perhaps because it is a juvenile still @jacqbb Thanks. That would make a great painting for you to try Jacqueline
@marilyn I've wondered if Ross can do a spider alert notification, so beautiful shots like these can be bypassed !! BUT then we'd miss out on interesting narrative and fabulous composed photos -) so I suppose we should continue to be brave!!!
