Description There has been a huge spider web in our garden for the past week - the spider re-builds this web every morning in the same place. The web is about two feet in diameter, not including the small strings that are holding it up.

This morning, there were beads of rain on it, so we took the photo opportunity. It was tough to compose the entire web because there are so many distractions around it - maybe I'll post one of the full photos... I actually darkened the background on the photo to get rid of some of the busy background.

Wow... I got a spiderweb, too, with the spider at its center. But unfortunately, it didn't rain. I tried to spray water on it to take a picture, but it didn't work

This one's beuatiful

If you get morning dew - try waking up a bit early! You might get some drops on the webs!

Yeah !! I wake up at 5 am... I guess it's early enough I'll try this (now, all i need is a good camera )

Thank you for the advice

Gorgeous. Webs are so difficult to capture well but you've certainly done it justice!

This is a beautiful picture =] And I hate spiders. But you've got to admit, there's a strange sort of beauty in the webs they make.

Oh, and 2 feet in diameter?! o.O That's... pretty big, yeah. Is it in proportion to the size of the spider, I wonder...

The webs are nice just as long as they are out of the way!!

It was huge - I actually never even saw the spider who built it - only a smaller one who was building a mini version next to it!!

Yes, they are, aren't they? Unless they're dusty cobwebs. In that case, I tend to go at them with a broom...

@@ As much as I spaz out at the sight of a spider, their webs are beautiful. Especially this one. I'm sure he wasn't too thrilled to find his handiwork flooded.

I think to rebuild broken strands or even to move location - but it seemed perfectly fine one minute, then it was gone the next - and he'd build it in the same place for a week and finally decided to move it this week!

I guess the flies weren't biting in that spot. Either that, or he's a perfectionist. >>;
