I hate spiders, but this is a beautiful capture of them. #11346804

I agree with Karen - I hate spiders but this is beautifully done. Excellent color contrast and perfect details. Very impressive. #11347023

Thanks for your comments! I don't like spiders either! But this one is pretty cool and is a harmless garden orb. I've been 'growing' it for about 6 weeks since she moved herself into my large dahlia. To witness a mating (she ate her suitor) is rare. The entire act lasted no more than 10 minutes and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to see it and grab my camera. #11347179
