Thanks, I definitely agree! Sometimes I wish I had a dollar for everytime I walked into their webs... :-)

These spiders are lovely, unless you happen to get one across your face while hiking the trails. I've always had difficulty getting good photos because my flash drowns out the white. Excellent shot!
