Spider webs

My camera and I found some busy spiders in the backyard. Although it is hard to see with the sunlight, the third picture has a spider hastily wrapping up his recently captured lunch. I have never seen this happen in the moment and it was fascinating and a bit scary to see how fast the spider caught and saved a meal for himself. The poor bug probably didn't know what hit him. Spiderwebs are pretty when the sun hits them just right. When I was taking art, it was a project to spray paint a web and then quickly press a sheet of paper to it thus immortalizing the spider's hard work. I work too hard myself and just can't bring myself to do this anymore!
