So I will post these separately from my other options. I know there are some folks who have a gut reaction to spiders.

These little buggers are so tiny and really hard to photograph without a macro lens. The mass of them was about 1.5 inches across. These were taken around 1 PM. By 5, all but 2 had scattered on the wind. They throw out a strand and let the breeze carry them off.

    #1 is pretty cool, not a fan of spiders either, but how cool to capture this, I've never seen all the babies! And the way they fly off, it's just like in Charlottes Web! :D

    Also not a spider fan, but that is really cool. #1 is a nice shot - good lighting. Probably would be too creepy to me to see a macro of these guys!

    Note to self - no spiders for the challenges. :D

    These are the ones that make the beautiful round webs. I am hoping they catch lots of mosquitos and flies and leave the bees alone.
