    At long last.....

    .....I waited so long to catch a spider with her cobweb........today I visited for some hours the Botanic Garden, and there, at long last I found a spider with her cobweb.....she must have been busy too......I was quite excited to found it at long last.....

    At long last.....

    That's a great find Griddi. Glad you weren't tempted to crop it for a close up.

    That really is a great shot of an Orb Weaver and its web Griddi. You really caught the light perfectly. Excellent.

    An impressive picture and an impressive web. Much bigger than anything we see in the UK.

    John........I had no wish to crop it, which would have been a shame.......but as I shoot several images, I may perhaps one of the to crop because of the spider.......

    Except the heads of the humanities over there...Aussies are the most down-to-earth people I have ever been with. There are a few exceptions but they are just a drop in the bucket...

    Thank you for the inspiration for me to go to our botanical garden over here to look for precious bugs I am interested at the moment...hopefully I can find one...for kicks. Excellent job!

    In a Botanic Garden you will find many things, I love going there, and always find some motives.......
