These little guys show up occasionally and make a home for themselves in the yard for a week or so. I thought this would be interesting for the Macro Monday theme "Shell" because they have a hard shell around their bodies and the horns/spikes look pretty cool. The seashells, peanut shells, pistachio shells, and egg shells I shot came out pretty boring so I got a little adventurous. Fortunately he/she didn't jump on me as I was trying to get the focus.

Nature's Web, never shuts down.

I've decided to make it Web Wednesday! I have a few photos that show the webs rather nicely. It's often tempting for me to crop in to the spider, but with a web like this, you'll just have to make due with a smaller spider. :-) I left the image big enough that you can view larger to see the spider.

This is a Trashline Orbweaver, and it appears she has lunch at the front end, and a fluffy, trashy egg sac behind.

- actually it's indoors; I'd wanted to photograph the web strung across the garden path, but it was blowing about too much in the breeze.

Earth (and some Air) for Macro Mondays Four Elements - I was re-potting a plant so this earth has a few roots in it. As the surface was inside the pot it is curved which is my excuse for not getting it all in focus

A spider web is outlined by the light of the sun against the dark background of a tree in the shadow. The spider can be seen in the centre of its web.

The sun was backlighting and revealing this gorgeous web and Garden Spider (Orb Weaver) so beautifully, it just had to be snapped...! ;-)

Amazing that a spider can make these intricate patterns all designed to catch it's prey.

I cheated and used a star filter on my camera to get the sparkle on this dew covered spider web.
