Made by a Nursery Web spider. If you view Large you can see the newly hatched spiderlings inside. For Web Wednesdays group www.flickr.com/groups/webwednesdays HWW!
Shot on a very breezy autumn morning, this spider clung onto her web remorselessly as it vibrated and shook. Although windy, it was unusually warm and I think she was intent on basking in the heat reflected from the wall behind her.
I took this picture under pressure - I had to get my bus and was already late. But it wasn't possible to miss this motive. ♥ And: Hadn't edited this one.

Completed Web @ The Little Red Hen
As you see, the web is above the gutter level of the roof, which is about twenty-five to thirty feet. Must've been good insect eats. The berries are sterile, or, at least, none of our trees have produced offspring in past few years.
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.
The mother nursery web spider carries an egg sack until the baby spiders hatch, then she deposits the ball into a nursery web or tent and guards the little ones. Since the female spider may eat the male after mating, he often gives her a 'gift' of a fly to satisfy her hunger. On occasion he may give her a fake gift wrapped in silk. If she detects the fake she ends mating.
