one spider's gift to me

One Busy Little Spider

by Connie C

One little spider busily
created what turned out to be
a photo opportunity
for no one other than for me.

Highlighted by the morning sun,
his web spectacularly done.
He must have had a night of fun
creating silken threads he's spun.

A hearty breakfast he will get
from tiny bugs caught in his net.
He'll wait again for sun to set,
then build a web much bigger yet.




I was very surprised to find such a large spider web in our backyard this morning. The sun shining through it made it especially beautiful, although my photography skills are somewhat lacking so I'm not sure I captured the true beauty of it.

Apparently, many spiders build their webs at night and take them down the next day only to rebuild again at nightfall. I wish I could have included the spider in the photo, but he (or perhaps she?) had disappeared.
Thanks for reading.
