"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved" Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species I can't but help feel an awe or a sense of mystery in the architecture of the web, and whether one is a believer of intelligent design (theism) interdependent arising (Buddhism) or Evolution (Scientific Materialism) one can't help but appreciate the beauty of the spider's creation and the beauty in Darwin's final words from the "Origin of the Species."

This capture is incredible, I am in awe of spider webs, and your words compliment this scene perfectly.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Good and interesting narrative accompanies this intriguing and fine image, Paul. Doesn't matter who has instructed a spider to construct such amazing 'architecture'. the result is still magical and amazing!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

Nice capture Paul. I think I see the critter right in the center! Maybe, maybe not; either way, a great closeup of this amazing 'threaded' structure:)
