OK, it’s not very original to choose a little young garden spider again. This is the last of 125 shots off hand (all discarded) plus 69 with tripod (4 left over, 2 really sharp, this one with the right focus plane). The web sways at the lightest breeze. I could take over the net between two sticks, make few brilliant shots and leave the spidey alone, to die probably. That would be no nature photography, it’s hooliganism. I admire the little spider (cute in my eyes but not the arachnophobic’s) building a perfect little web bettween two points being some 100 times of her body length apart. Make use of the “view all sizes” option, since this is neither processed nor cropped. I hope they are easier to get when adult and large ;-)
