Took these pictures of Spider along edge of pond at Nature Preserve this past weekend as we had beautiful summer weather over the weekend...but has turned much cooler now.

I am trying to think of a suitable word - incredible perhaps is the right one.
Wonderful work Gerry, a splendid macro.

I cant look for too long though, the s creatures give me the heebie jeebies.
And they bite as well you know. I know, one did, bit me.Just as well I did not know the meaning of caedes when I first came here lol.

Looks like it was the model that Caedes used for the logo here..excellent macro work and I'm glad it's on the other side of the screen.

Prefer #2 purley cause of the lighting, but this is a good shot nevertheless

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. - Hermes

the detail in him is quite fantastic, i prefer the greens in the other shot i think, but i cant actually look at him for very long without shuddering!

Beautiful! I believe I shot one of these last fall --> http://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=imbusion-1160026442.jpg , or at least something close to it.

I'm pretty sure the species is Argiope Bruennichi. Their webs are characterized by a distinct zigzag band near the center. Well captured! :)
