Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way
I've seen spiders that keep their legs together in pairs like that before. I wonder why they do it? Great shot! The greenery behind the web really adds to it.
Even though I think the subject stands out better in the first upload, I like this one better for all the lovely green behind it. I'm not sure that it's best for showing off the subject, but perhaps I'm willing to see the subject as a part of the background instead of as sitting on my desk? lol...I'm not afraid of spiders, actually..just frogs!!

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
