Charlotte's Web
Thank you Dawn for the beautiful and kind words. What a nice surprise.
If you like flare, bokeh and beautiful photos, take a look at her beautiful photostream
This is our annual "Charlotte". This year she has set up at the end of the balcony and is between the railing and the eves. I had to use my on board flash. set to -2. to light her up and show her details.
Spiny Backed Orb Weaver
The famous spider from Charlotte's Web is a barn orb-weaver spider. Orb weaving spiders produce the familiar flat, ornate, circular webs usually associated with spiders. Orbweavers come in many shapes and sizes, but the brightly colored garden orbweavers, Argiope spp., are the largest and best known.
Orbweavers are generally harmless and can be a nuisance when they build large webs in places inconvenient for humans. Despite their formidable appearance, orb weaver spiders are not considered dangerous.
Going back a few months for this one. If memory serves me well, I caught this little guy working on a pack lunch out in my back garden/yard.
If interested in a peak at other uploads, feel free to check my most interesting images as determined by Flickr, or my personal favourites.

These have a lot of names, including but not limited too: Yellow Garden Spider, Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Golden Garden Spider, Writing Spider, Zigzag Spider, Zipper Spider, Black and Yellow Argiope, Corn Spider, Steeler Spider, and McKinley Spider. They are very beneficial beasties to have around not to mention beautiful.

Spiders have a cruel, treacherous reputation, perhaps deservedly so. Constructed in fine, delicate detail, their webs display an intricate architecture built to trap all sorts of insects. Not a pretty site to watch a fly struggling to escape gossamer threads, finally surrender, then sense the approach of the spider. "It's what they get for flying," says the spider, as she patiently munches a wing, reducing two to one. See what I mean by cruel treachery?
Arachnophobia seems to affect a lot of people. I've never been scared of spiders for the most part, though I don't particularly enjoy the feel of one scurrying across the back of my neck. I suspect many people dispatch spiders with the smack of a flyswatter, but think of Charlotte's Web the next time you're so tempted. Could you really do that to poor Charlotte? Ok, you could and you do. You likely eat Wilbur, too, don't you.
The spider in Lindsay's poem, though, doesn't sound much like Charlotte, and may make you more sympathetic to flies. Say, you don't suppose, do you, that Lindsay knew a girl named Charlotte ("I saw her eat my heart")? Get out the swatter.
The Spider and the Ghost of the Fly
Once I loved a spider
When I was born a fly,
A velvet-footed spider
With a gown of rainbow-dye.
She ate my wings and gloated.
She bound me with a hair.
She drove me to her parlor
Above her winding stair.
To educate young spiders
She took me all apart.
My ghost came back to haunt her.
I saw her eat my heart.

For Our Daily Challenge 30th April 2011, "book title".
I've not actually read Charlotte's Web, but I'm pretty sure Charlotte is a spider?! I had the book when I was younger, but for some reason I have never read it.....!
I don't know if this web belonged to a Charlotte or not... I couldn't see it's owner!
I wove my webs for you.... because I liked you.

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.....
After all, what's a life, anyway?
We're born, we live a little while, we die.
A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.

'The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again.' - Nursery Rhyme

fun facts:
Spiders are not insects (insects have three body parts and six legs whereby spiders have eight legs, either six or eight eyes and two body parts: the abdomen and the thorax).
Spiders have silk spinning glands (spinnerets) at the tip of their abdomen but not all spiders spin webs.
Spiders belong to the Arachnid family and there are more than 30,000 species of spiders.
Spiders are oviparous, which means their babies come from eggs.
Spider bites can be quite painful, and a select few can be fatal; all spiders have fangs, through which venom is ejected.
Fear of spiders is called 'Arachniphobia' and it is one of the most common fears among humans.
Male spiders identify themselves by a variety of complex courtship rituals to avoid being eaten alive by the females, the human species call this behavior 'dating'.
IN HISTORY:
In the Devonian period, about 386 million years ago, spider-like arachnids with silk-producing spigots appear but these creatures apparently lacked spinnerets.
True spiders have been found in Carboniferous rocks from 318 to 299 million years ago, and are very similar to the most primitive surviving order, the Mesothelae.
The main groups of modern spiders, Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae, first appear in the Triassic period, before 200 million years ago.
"You mean you eat flies?" gasped Wilbur
"Certainly. Flies, bugs, grasshoppers, choice beetles, moths, butterflies, tasty cockroaches, gnats, midgets, daddy-long-legs, centipedes, mosquitoes, crickets - anything that is careless enough to get caught in my web. I have to live, don't I?"
"Why, yes, of course," said Wilbur. "Do they taste good"?
"Delicious. Of course, I don't really eat them. I drink them - drink their blood. I love blood."
A nice, bloodthirsty quote from Charlotte's Web for Hallowe'en!
Detail shot of a portion of my White on White Crazy Quilt Wall Hanging Group Correspondence course. Because only white and ecru fabric and threads have been used it had a bridal feel to the piece. I added some letting in the spider web as a reference to Charlotte's Web and to make the piece more whimsical.
I was able to catch a shot of Charlotte's web as the sun shone on it. I did have to spritz it with some water to get to show up.
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."
"Incredible Journey" is the top one. If I could have found my tattered "Swiss Family Robinson" and "Little Women" books, they would have made the picture, too ♥

On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight...
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow
And quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry...
