Spiders on the Bridge

The spider's web: 
She finds an innocuous corner in which to spin her web. 
The longer the web takes, the more fabulous its construction. 
She has no need to chase. 
She sits quietly, her patience a consummate force; 
she waits for her prey to come to her on their own, 
and then she ensnares them, 
injects them with venom, 
rendering them unable to escape. 
Spiders – so needed and yet so misunderstood. 
~ Donna Lynn Hope



I love spiderwebs.

Every single time we walk along this bridge we see the spiders have been hard at work. There have been some ridiculously big webs, but today there are only small webs. Some are a little ratty, but the spiders continue setting their traps.

Here are a selection from this morning. A few have been "enhanced" so you can see 'em a little better.


Okay. These are not from the bridge, but a fence nearby.
