Kinda scary! That was the last thing I saw before I closed my eyes and got married (in the '60s). Fortunately I eventually crawled out of it.
Sorry Bob. Imagery got me for a moment. It really is a Beautiful photograph! Amazing.

Nice web. Garden spider? Would duck under them to get rid of deer flies back in the swamps down south. Thanks for the picture.

Skipjack--that photo reminds me of how chilly the Bay Area can get. My brother lives in Pacifica and I'm usually freezing my tail off when
visiting...lived in Burlinghame for six months many years ago and I don't think I ever took my jacket off! Still, I'll take a Bay Area winter over a
Texas summer...

That's amazing! In the photo it looks so large. What're the dimentions?

Beautiful web, Bob H.
and beautiful haor frost, Igor. Every now and then something reminds me of the beauty of a cold Montana morning, and your California frost brings it
home.

This web was located in a rose garden. You can see a new rose bud in the upper left hand corner. I would estimate the size of this web to be 18
inches in diameter.
Thanks to all for your kind comments on this image. I almost walked right in to this web.

Bob,
Wow! I'm thinking an 18 inch web must be created by a very interesting spider! Here in the desert we have lots of spiders (I have a lot of very
healthy black widows in my yard) but I've never seen a web like that. The only time I've seen something comparable was in Hawaii, Poipu, Kauai, and
the spiders were yellow, striped, jumping monsters (almost dinner plate size!). I'd really be interested if you can capture a photo of the spider
that spun that web and anything he catches with it. I'm not a spider fan but I do respect any creature that can create something as complicated as
that beautiful web..............

I looked for the spider... but I think it was hiding because it was just so damp. This photo was from 2004 so I think the spider that spun that web
is long gone..
