Spider in her web
Nigel Borrington
This Morning while walking through our local woods, I came across a Gorse bush and noticed that its was decorated with spiders webs. Each web was covered in early morning dew, so I started to take a few photographs, while doing so I noticed that the spider who had most likely spent most of the night creating these amazing structures was still at work.
It was a great moment! just to stop and watch her as she continued to work on finishing just another one of so many of her webs, I managed to captures some close up images , some of which I share here – 🙂 🙂
“The Spiders web” by E.B. White
The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.
Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider’s web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.

I definitely do not like spiders, but the works of art they create are stunning and you’ve certainly captured the magic in these 🙂

Hi Elaine 🙂
One of those very special moments in life , looking at this web being constructed 🙂 🙂

With all my superior brain power I could not possibly construct something as symmetrical and efficient as a spider web without lots of measuring, calculating, planning etc etc. And there goes the spider, making wonders without exerting any brain power at all…
