Phyciodes tharos, the Pearl Crescent Butterfly, on Black-Eyed Susan in a meadowThe web of the Araneus diadematus is often spotted in the later summer and into fall. They can be huge – this one spans from our porch to the flagpole, with an anchoring strand down to my car in the driveway. Fully 20+ feet! The photo has been filtered digitally to bring out the colors of the web.
nature’s art is unrivalled by any artist’s pen or brush.

God’s art, I would say, and yes, it is amazing! I like your snail, too!

alas, the gold-colored dragonfly outside won’t stay still long enough to get a pic.

A huge web is indeed beautiful when dew laden and sparking in the morning’s golden light, but when I’m not paying enough attention to where I am walking and transform the web into wearable art, it then means a large amount of “shrieking like a little girl” on my part.
For me, some art is best viewed from a distance!
My mind added a sort of Victorian era postal service uniform to the drawing because, snail mail.
