This is a wonderful gallery! Your eye is so perceptive, and the creatures themselves are beautiful. I have a collection of argiope and araneus shots taken this past summer and fall near my pond, here in Nov Scotia. I hope to post them at some point. But they don't rival yours.

Best Wishes,

Brenda
