Funds going to Breast Cancer UK

Early yesterday morning was a beautiful

sunny start , and i was admiring my

re blooming orchid plant . It has more heads

on it now , than when i got it in January -

and at least another half a dozen to open !

I gazed outside and saw something glistening -

so i took my camera ...

A spider had spun it`s web on our wall and

gate in numerous places .

And even from the gate to the back

side of our car parked in the drive !!

How did it do that !! ?

Webs always amaze me , from such a tiny creature

they create something so delicate and beautiful .

We also have a resident spider -

hanging around outside my kitchen window.

If you`re squeemish - i apologise -

i have watched it from inside - make it`s web

eat and maintain it`s home and grow larger.

On this occasion - i managed to snap it -

on others it would climb up and hide .

It was quite hard to capture - as there

was a reflection on the window - so many

photos later ...

He`s coming to get you !! ;o)

This is an under shot .

And here i videoed him .

Have a wonderful weekend everyone !!
