A Northern Cardinal with spider silk on his beak....

Another image of these droplets on a spiders web after some overnight rain.

A shot taken of dew water bubbles/drops on a cobweb on a farm in Cury, Cornwall. Shot taken in the early morning sun to capture the different light and reflections on the bubbles.

Taken using my Sigma 105mm Macro Lens to capture the amazing detail.

A golden orb weaver's web covered with water droplets

Little Island, Hudson River Park, New York

This spider was making a web when I found it, I shot this at 300mm and used my flash on the camera. The lighter spot was a leaf reflecting light, I tried to align it up with the spider and the shadows went dark, image was cropped.

Big spider web hanging from trees - Serra de Sintra

Pisaurina mira is a species of spider in the family Pisauridae, the members of which are commonly called, nursery web spiders They are similar to wolf spiders and to the long-legged water spiders.

Like other members of the Pisauridae, Pisaurina mira carries its eggs along with it in a sac that is secured both by a thread of silk linking it to the spider's spinnerets and by being held by the spider's chelicerae. When the eggs are nearly ready to hatch the mother will build a nursery web within which the egg sac is then hung. After they hatch, and until they undergo their first molt, the infant spiders will inhabit the rather large volume enclosed by this nursery web. The mother spider will station herself nearby in order to defend the nursery. (EOL)

I did not see what was curled up in the leaf she is sitting on, but I suspect she is defending an egg sac attached inside.

Spider Web

It always amazes me as to how there are so many different types of Spider webs.Does it depend on the Spider or does it depend upon the location and build structure site.

This one is different being a half moon or pocket type web...at least in my estimate.

Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

Have a safe and beautiful day dearest Flickr friends !

The wet season is back

This web looked like a gold beaded curtain draped across the grass ...

Drove around aimlessly this cloudy morning before finally deciding to return "the old standby" at which point Mother Nature decided to offer me a little help... my work doesn't do her's justice
