Thanks Mayra! sorry for the late reply. Modem broke had to chop one out of the jungle!
Thanks textless! thanks GeoLeo! it was all a matter of good timing and light!!!
Beautiful photos... I always find webs hard to capture.
Thanks Marta. I agree. Over the last two weeks my daughter and I have been amazed by the webs. While waiting for the school bus we watch them rebuild from the night before.
Is so beautiful and perfectly shaped!
Thanks Carol. This is, by far, one of my best nature shots!
Even if someone HATES spiders, I don't know anyone who doesn't like photos of webs. Great photos!
