One of many large spider webs near the marsh area of a small lake. I succeeded not walking into them....ok, most of the time. :) Always amazed at their beautiful design. Liked having some bokeh behind this one.
Why did this tiny spider build a web with this pattern? Very small (about 1cm across) and horizontal.
Black & Yellow Garden Spider. I love the webs they weave. Just a faint shade of yellow but she's a keeper - I won't get rid of the web.
Two funnel-web spiders, possibly Labyrinth spiders (Agelena labyrinthica)
Agelena is a genus of agelenid spiders that trap their prey by weaving entangling non-sticky funnel webs. The genus is limited to the Old world, where it occurs from Africa to Japan. (Wikipedia)

I am on holiday in Spain at the moment but have brought a few images with me so I can keep posting through to the end of Arachtober

Colorful rhythms in the breeze
Web strands shot during wind movement and under bright conditions provide an optical spectrum feast, due to waves of light being scattered by the silk - diffraction - speed of the shutter, and quantity of softness from a softly focused lens, i.e. not focused sharply on the web threads at any given moment.
Much of what I capture is by trial and error and a good deal of luck, not judgement, as I react spontaneously to these intriguing opportunities. The light however, has to be right.
