Drip Drops and the Spider Web

Que belleza¡¡¡¡¡

I have been watching this spider and her web in my yard for the last several weeks. I have waited patiently for Mother Nature to give me what I wanted. Today I took matters into my own hands and made my own dew. So I cheated a little. The spider didn't even mind, she needed a little water to wash down a couple of flies.

Wow! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful comments and faves.

This was actually a hard shot to get. Everytime I tried to take a pic the web would start swaying back and forth in the breeze moving in and out of focus.

@stephen, I can't believe how well this photo has done. I wonder why people didn't like my pic of a pair of old shoes this much. ;-)
