Silhouetted Spider

Didn't think I'd have a new shot for you today after working, cutting the grass and driving carpool but ventured down to the property to water the grass tonight and I nearly walked into this guy. Luckily, my husband pointed him out. I thought it worked well with Halloween fast approaching. If you have the time check him out large... he's much more dramatic!!

I need to thank everyone again for all their views, comments and fav's. I've had a great week. So many of my shots have made the PP. I should also mention that I don't often thank people individually but instead try to reciprocate my gratitude with comments on your masterpieces.

Great shot there, very Halloween-esque! Love all the dead bugs in the web, too - they add to the mood. :)

I think I detect some gnats that fell prey to the spider's web!!
I think @beckys is or was a fan of The Who!

Lovely Composition.

lovely dof well spotted for not walking into it! I hate it when that happens.

Nice shot, even though the subject feels a little creepy! (I don't mind spiders at all, I think they are our friends but don't feel the same on 365 for some odd reason..!)
