This is a motion blur of a spider web. There was a slight wind, and this was taken at 1/4 second shutter speed.

I went outside early one morning to get the newspaper and found this spider web in front of our house.
A restoration of a damaged clip, but showing an interesting perspective on the back (presumably web making) end of the Tholian ship model from The Tholian Web. The ship sits on a stand in the studio. Another shot of the ship, from the side, can be seen here:

where the web making nozzle (if that is what it was intended to be) is just barely visible in side profile.
This relatively simple model was repurposed later in the third season as the Aurora in the episode " The Way to Eden " and can be seen as that ship here:

Misty rain all day today but I'm at work for the next 5 days so I felt I should get out! I usually find lots of webs in the rain but all empty. This one was occupied by a bejewelled Spider!
Tried to find something cheery this morning to photograph - no luck!
On the plus side I got to chat to two fellow Oxford Flickrites today in real life :-)
I took this photo long time ago, but for some reason I didn't upload it here.
I love how the little dew drops are trapped at the spider's web.^^
Once we'd finally torn ourselves away from the cottage on the first morning on Mull, we were distracted again, just a few minutes down the road by a hedgerow absolutely covered in spiders webs that were glistening with dew in the morning sunshine...
Dew drenched huge spider web in the grass at Assateague NWR. It's cold outside so I'm going through my files and found this from several years ago. No processing.
2/52 - It was a gorgeous out in the cold this morning. I was after some frosty shots but I chose this web that I found hiding behind a post.
This is a wasp tied up in a spider's web. I think that the wasp was still alive here, but I'm not sure. Its mouth parts seemed to move now and then as if it was trying to chew its way out.
The spider was a house spider - quite a lot bigger than the wasp. I had no idea that house spiders fed on wasps, but they obviously do.
I didn't see these wasps (there were two in the web) land in the web. I had been watching the spider for a while and then went away for 20 minutes or so. When I came back there were the wasps all cocooned like this. I wonder if the spider had stored them somewhere and then brought them back to the web where it could handle them and feed on them.
It makes a change for me to feel sadness and sympathy for wasps. A few years ago I watched wasps attacking and then decapitating bees. I felt sorry for the bees then, and no sympathy for wasps. But wasps meet harsh ends too. All part of nature's cycle.
