Hangin' on by a Thread

Williamsburg, VA

This little spider weaves a big, beautiful web (5 feet across +) in the bushes outside our kitchen window every night and takes it down by mid-morning the next day. Amazing!

After a small storm I shot this picture of it (apparently) trying to keeps it's web from falling apart.

From:

Canon EOS 20D ,Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Xr Di-II LD IF
1/250s f/8.0 at 200.0mm (35mm equivalent: 1403mm) iso200 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
