Constructed on a fence at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. These non-sticky webs are designed to entangle or stop flying prey in the upper portion, after which the prey often falls onto the lower "sheet" where the spider awaits. Notice the loose curved threads strung between the stiff vertical strands. This web was about 6" long. Quite a piece of engineering!
I was walking through Mark Burnham Park early Tuesday evening and the sun was catching a network of small branches just the right way to create the illusion of a massive diagonal spider web through the trees. I have the benefit of having been there, and know what I should see, so hopefully you can also see the illusion in this shot. Wishing you all a gorgeous green Thursday!
This spider seemed to be repairing the area the leaf had trapped itself in the web , wrapping new webs to secure it I suppose . Would make a nice landing spot for unexpecting prey. The spider was actually upside down like shown and the leaf was caught up in the position you see as I was snapping the shot. No rotation was done to the image. Again another early morning light shot. Morning light is so nice . So many beams of light coming through the forest at that time.
Look in large if you have time . The spider has a really fantastic design on its back.

Mona Hatoum
a large-scale constellation of delicate, transparent glass spheres connected by steel wires to take the form of a spider's web. The seemingly precarious web, suspended overhead and extending almost across the entire space, looks both fascinating and ominous. Web can be seen as a net coming at you from above, announcing an oppressive, threatening confinement, but at the same time can be experienced as a ‘home’ or a place of safety. This reminds us that spiders spin their webs to catch and entangle their prey. For Hatoum, the web also symbolises the interconnectedness of things. The glass orbs sparkle like dewdrops on the web, which in a paradoxical way is both seductive, and terrifying. Web is a stark but poetic reminder of the physically and psychologically trapping ‘webs’ we have to navigate through in life. Hatoum has used the motif of the web, in various materials, throughout her oeuvre to explore themes of neglect, idleness, mobility and control.

It takes quite a bit of work to create a home that has a proper location and can balance on the upper tier stocks.
Oh yes if you look at the top left stock you will see a snail crawling without a shell.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe day at home dear Flickr friends !
