This busy spider was actively building its web along a wooded nature trail. I watched the spider make several circumferential trips around the web laying down silk at the rate of about 1 revolution per minute.
We walked to the bus stop in a foggy world of spiderwebs this morning, all perfectly outlined with mist. Beautiful and so interesting!
(That said, if you live in Madison and would like to be oblivious to the fact that our world is full of spiderwebs and the arachnids that produce them you may want to stay indoors this morning. The webs are *everywhere*!)
MEPs Marietje Schaake and Kaja Kallas cordially invite you to an ALDE event on how various Russian authorities use the Internet, especially for propaganda and surveillance purposes. The event will be kicked off by the book launch of Andrey Soldatov and Irina Borogan´s ´The Red Web´. Please join us for a presentation of their findings and a discussion of their implications by a panel of experts.
Flickr goes on presenting white pages to me, when I try to visit you, dear friends.
Sorry, sorry!
And have a good time (hopefully less foggy than mine) !:)
This web I found in my garden attached to a tree, all this made by one spider
Feel free to comment on all of my photos, please tell me if you dont like something about it. Thanks
Mike Webber. Thames archaeologist at Southwark cathedral Aug 2021. Shot at Southwark cathedral as part of the 'Time and Tide' project. Pictures shot on an Intrepid Mk 11 4x5 camera and Fomapan 400 film processed in river water. Mike Webber is a community archaeologist, educator, and curator. He co-ordinated the Thames Archaeological Survey 1995-2000 and now specialises in the archaeology of the River Thames. The focus for this work has been the artefacts, particularly pot sherds, found on the Thames beaches. Recent work with ceramic artists and makers has led Mike to explore the archaeological and historical evidence for the people who made these artefacts and the techniques that they used to manufacture and decorate them.
Excerpt from Daybreak:
The dark streets have been ours until we reach the main road, where we hear engines long before rare headlamps appear. I look up at the streetlamp and at first wonder if I see a tattered rag someone has thrown on the wires. Then I gasp in amazement and whisper, "Is that a web?"
A few steps further forward, we know for certain.
"It's as big as the stop sign," Mary whispers back. We spend a minute staring. The web has lost great round chunks, surviving what seems an epic battle.
Once, when I had hiked in Massachusetts' Blue Hills Reservation, I came upon a spiderweb the size of a doorway. I had knelt before it, gazing upon it and its maker with tears in my eyes.
"I've noticed that about the Blue Hills," Mary says. "They like to build their webs near the trails." ....
On our way home Mary and I stop again at the web, which I had not photographed before breakfast. It is still dark and I have no tripod; any exposure would be several seconds in length.
"You know you've got to try it," she says. I nod.
For two shots I listen to the slow whirr in my hands; then I pop up the flash. I doubt it will reach far enough to illuminate the web, but perhaps it will quicken my shutter speed.
The fog has thinned. Clouds emerge slowly in predawn light. As we walk home the sun begins to rise, brightening the sky almost urgently. The yard lamps give mixed opinions; some have turned off while others stay on. The air fills with bird song; engines rev.
At home, after the bakery shots, the thumbnails of my downloaded files show blurred strands and then a field of uninterrupted black.
Or so it seems. Viewing the field full-size reveals a hint of contrast that I sharpen and brighten in successive steps. Slowly, miraculously, the web appears.
The morning before I had discovered a huge population of orb webs on the hillside. The next day when I returned it was drizzling and most of the webs were gone, except for a few straggly remains. Some of them were quite pretty with the water drops, though.
There wasn't much light so I upped the ISO to 800, which is why there's a bit of noise. I used the on-camera flash (all I have).

It was a dewy early morning. I took my camera out for a ride around our property on the bluff of the Buffalo River. I was pleased to capture this dewy web.
