I love Spiders(part 1)

I think spiders are awesome.  I am fascinated by them.  I am not currently fascinated to the point where I go and look up what type it is, or if it is poisonous, or what its scientific name is etc..  I just love admiring them.  It is amazing that a little creepy crawly builds a web designed to catch a wayward bug who might get tangled in it.  And once the bug gets caught... game over:) 
Tuesday morning I went outside when the gf left for work.  The air was really foggy(as it often is) and the dense humidity caused the webs to have gazillions of little water droplets on them, making the webs very visible.  On a dry day it can be hard to spot even the largest webs.


The first three images are of the same spider, and were taken near the carport outside our house.  All of the images were taken with the Tokina 100 2.8 Macro lens mounted to a Canon 5d Mark ii.






The web resembled a Compact Disc with the sunlight shinging through the water drops.


A ray of sunlight lights up a spider in the morning


Some nice light coming in from behind a very large web. (Cumberland Knob, N.C.)


A spider just getting his web started on Old Quaker Rd.
 Thanks for looking, stay tuned for more:)
