Charlotte's Web

I am not a fan of spiders as in the past, I have been traumatised by the spiders in my cottage that were so big, they actually set off the security lights and cameras! However, earlier this morning I found the thumbnail of this delicate little spider’s web. Just before deleting it, I took a look at the bigger picture and decided I liked it enough to post this morning. Many years ago, as a borderline arachnophobe, I read Charlotte’s Web to my daughter and somehow the story made me look at spiders in a kinder, more sensitive way.

 

"Charlotte's Web, classic children's novel by E.B. White, published in 1952, with illustrations by Garth Williams. The widely read tale takes place on a farm and concerns a pig named Wilbur and his devoted friend Charlotte, the spider who manages to save his life by writing about him in her web."
