Description


"'Won't you come on over for dinner?' ,said the spider to the bee." ~~~~~

Going to my car from the house this morning, I probably would have walked right into this scene you see before you. The spider and bee were at about forehead level on me. Luckily, Lisa saw it and warned me, and encouraged me to take a photo even though I was running late. I didn't want to take the time to get my C8080 out and set up a tripod, etc., so I pulled my tiny Pentax from my briefcase and held it up to take some exposures. It was rather frustrating because of the height of the web and the breeze was causing it to sway back and forth unpredictably, not good when taking a macro photo. So I took as many exposures as time would allow from a few different angles, and for the last shots she even held up a leaf behind them so that the white of the front of our house would not show. I got to work and downloaded the contents of my camera. Most of the photos were too blurred or the depth of field was centered in the wrong spot. This was the final photo. The moral of the story? Always take that one last shot. ;'] Anyone recognize the type of spider? ------

Beautiful shot - glad you were persistent. I especially like the way the light is hitting the light & dark parts of the spiders hairy, amber-colored legs...
