Walking along a wooded trail way back when, I noticed a leaf in mid-air. On closer inspection I saw it had been caught in a spider’s web on its way down. The web was stretched between two trees. Aren’t they amazing these tiny architects of nature? My plant app says the leaf is from a Sweetgum tree.
Have a great day everyone
and thanks for visiting.
I am always fascinated by these works of art—these webs—and by how strong the threads are and how large they can be, especially when wind and rain come along. A great photo!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day! Hugs, Elke
Thank you Elke. I wonder the same things, they truly amaze me those webs :) You have a wonderful day also. Hugs, Denise
DeleteWhat a beautiful shot of this spider web... I love their webs but only in pictures :))
ReplyDeleteA midweek hug for you, Andreja!
Thank you Andreja, much appreciated! I like looking at them outside too but most definitely do not enjoy being surprised when walking through one, haha or not so hahaha :)
DeleteYes lovely photo. Spider webs are amazing structures and awful to walk into.
ReplyDeleteExactly, agree with you 100 percent Diane and so glad you liked the photo :)
DeleteThank goodness it wasn't a spider. Since I'm on my way to bed, I would have really had nightmares!
ReplyDeleteI think the spider was safely tucked in his bed until nighttime :) No, wouldn't want you to have nightmares.
DeleteBeautiful Denise, and taken so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, much appreciated :)
DeleteIt must be a vegan spider
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh Ruby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3 :)
DeleteThey are very amazing. They apparently want me to notice how amazing because I frequently walk out my front door and straight into a spider web.
ReplyDeleteVery true :) and oh dear, that would be startling.
DeleteI noticed several single leaves suspended in the air, while on a recent drive through a local park. Each of them had a beauty of their own.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful sight Linda :)
DeleteSpiders are fascinating, indeed. We have one in the downstairs bathroom. He or she has lived there for several months now; no trouble, no inconvenience, and we get along famously.
ReplyDeleteWe have had them take up residence too :) They are always welcome. In the summer, fast little spiders are shown the inside of a paper cup, covered with a tissue and taken outside.
DeleteI so enjoy seeing odd things like this when I'm outside anywhere anytime. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteMe too, taking photos makes you more aware of surroundings, I think. We become explorers of sorts :)
DeleteNature is amazing, great photo Denise.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a happy Wednesday!
Very much so Eileen and thank you. You take care and hope you had a happy Wednesday as I write this on Thursday :)
DeleteGreat photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteThat is a fun shot! Screams Autumn!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen, yes it does :)
DeleteGood that you saw and appreciated such a small detail.
ReplyDeleteThese small details turn into blessings don't they?
DeleteThe intricacy of weaving in a spider web is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt is, very much so Sandra :)
DeleteI do so admire spider webs from afar...this was a great snap Denise
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
Thank you Cecilia, as do I :) Hugs, Denise
DeleteThe web is so delicate, nature's lace.

That's a lovely way of putting it Amalia, thank you :) Denise xo
DeleteI love to spot something like that and stop and marvel! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your afternoon!
ReplyDeleteHello Diane, and these stops are what makes a great nature walk :) It is always my pleasure to share and thank you Diane :) I hope you had a wonderful afternoon also.
DeleteHow cool is that?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you saw that Jim and Barb, I thought it was very cool :)
DeleteIt amazes me how fast a small spider can spin a web.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I once saw one of those fast-motion videos and watched one create something absolutely beautiful :)
DeleteThose tiny spiders can make a big web.
ReplyDeleteThey can indeed Mary :)
DeleteWhat a super photograph.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely Wednesday.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, I appreciate that. We had a lovely Wednesday thank you, Thursday also. I hope you did too. All the best, Denise
DeleteDenise, this is a most lovely photo. It reminded me of a picture that Jess sent me this morning. Francesca was at her dad's work, and she took a picture of a giant spider web in nature. I love how you can see the forest trees in the distance in your picture. Have a good rest of the week, Denise.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful is that? So glad you enjoyed this photo and thank you for sharing the story of Francesca taking a photo of one. It's these things that plant the seed of how very beautiful nature is, when we are young. Thanks for sharing that Sheri. You have a good rest of the week also :)
DeleteLOVE spider webs!
ReplyDeleteThey are great, aren't they Ivy?
DeleteBella imagen. Te mando un beso.

DeleteNeat picture!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda :)
DeleteWhat a happy happenstance!
ReplyDeleteThanks John, I love moments such as these. Totally unexpected :)
DeleteThat is a fabulous graphic!
ReplyDeleteThank you Erika :) much appreciated.
DeleteI love walking in the forest and finding these things like suspended leaves in the fall! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWith all those wonderful hikes you take Val, I expect you see a lot of them. That would be pretty amazing :)
DeleteYes, Denise, that suspended leaf was a great capture. It’s seeing little things like this that are always amazing in their simplicity.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy, you put it beautifully :)
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog Denise. I love the picture and finding things like that.
ReplyDeleteHello there, thank you too :) glad you enjoyed.
