Roadside web at nightAfter playing with the new tools in LR & PS my spiderweb ended up at the edge of a busy hiway caught in oncoming traffic.
Autumn Web 1Before the Catfaced spider decided it was time to plant the orb under the deck it made a web. I was able to capture it in a bit of sun. The colours are from the lens filter I had on at the time and I feel they add a nice touch.
The Long GoodbyeOct 12/23 - I have a feeling that the spider did not survive the night. Was frost this morning on the roofs. Will check over the next few days, but think it is a matter of waiting for spring to see what happens.

Cat Faced Spider - Ready for winter (1 of 3)The spider has moved over to a corner under the deck and looks like it has made a home for the winter. There is no shortage of silk around it and the egg sack behind the main body.

Catch of the dayWe have a decent sized Orb spider (no idea if the name is correct as I am not a real bug person).
It has strung a web across the stairs up to the deck. Have left it there for the educational / entertainment value of seeing what it is catching.
It was just dragging this hopper back to the web when I went outside. Didn't get images of it carrying across but did once it settled in for dinner prep.
