Just to be VERY clear here... I'm NOT exactly infatuated by the spiders themselves so much as their beautiful work of art. Not one alike. Isn't it amazing?
Capturing it takes the perfect moment, which can be a little tricky. Here are the few I've managed to get. Thanks to my neighbor for preserving a couple and allowing me to drag my camera over.
Now I want you all to think of cute Charlotte from Charlotte's Web as you scroll your mouse down the page. OK?
Ok, let's get this WW party started. Add your link below and then head over to some of my other bloggy friends... Kristi at Live and Love Out Loud, Angie at seven clown circus, and Susan & Janice at 5 minutes for mom.
AAhhhhhh! I think your son's bug "love" is rubbing off! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI get it but eeewwwwwwwwww :)
ReplyDeleteNice collection, i like the first 2 best
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, happy WW! :-)
spiders give me the creeps but great captures. my favourite is the third one.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's, love Charlotte's Web but still get squeamish :)
ReplyDeleteSheesh woman, you are totally on the ball today. Look at you, with your WW post up early. I feel so behind. I'll have mine up in a few hours. lol
ReplyDeleteAs for the photos, I love the third one and the last one. Total perfection! I too am fascinated by the beauty of spider webs. They are artists, indeed.
Kristi, Live and Love...Out Loud

Ummm, ewwww! Those are pretty great pics though. I need to get my spidy pics up one day.
ReplyDeleteI am not a spider fan, but as you know my son is a huge fan of them. So I too have been noticing how amazing their webs are and how many different types there are. Funny how when your kids have a love for things like this you take time to really look and try to understand what the appeal is and when you do that it is nice to find something beautiful about things like spiders LOL. BTW your shots are amazing, I don't have a good enough lens to get the kind of shots you do. I am going to have to ask for a new lens for Christmas LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love the 'web' pics, but they just NEVER seem to work out for me... Oh well, more patience and practice is need I suppose!
ReplyDeleteMine is up as well at AussiePomm (Spring Walk), have a great WW!!
Spiders are fascinating little creatures. I always feel like I've won the jackpot if the web I photograph comes out well and in-focus. :) Great shots!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing shots! I never knew a thing about photography until I started blogging in May (still don't know much, but learning!) Now, I walk around just looking at objects differently...you can find such beauty in the smallest thing...like this web and how appropriate with Halloween just around the corner! I linked up some shots from the NC Mountains! Thanks! I am your newest follower! Christie at Three Pixie Lane
ReplyDeleteawesome shots! what beautiful detail!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! My last post was about a web...love the webs, not the spiders. Really beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteooooh- im diggin' the second and last! but they are all great :)
ReplyDeletewhats with the watermark on your pics, you havent always done that- have you? any reason? has it always been there and im totally clueless? lol...
beautiful photos, but EEUUWWW! I do not like spiders! and their webs. The one in the cage has a huge egg sac! Yikers!! Faythe@GMT
ReplyDeleteyou took those? Amazing! Could be used for halloween :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I'm not seeing the linky so here's my link. I'll check back again a little later.
ReplyDeleteAs for the photos. I tried to think happy spider thoughts but it didn't go so well. I think web #4 would be more like me: more than a little messy. =)

I'm so glad you do this each week! The other Wordless Wednesday has had troubles for 3 weeks running. :-) David
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the closeup of that spider. I hate spiders but think they are so facinating and the webs they make are works of art! Beautifully captured as always!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are great, I have to agree, happy spider thoughts no...but great pictures!!
ReplyDeletecute? aarrghhhh :p
ReplyDeletei almost post a pic of a spider, good thing i didnt! it wasnt captured as amazing as what you did :)
ReplyDeleteMY PHOBIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEeeekkk!
I could not scroll down fast enough, now I feel all creepy....
Very cool shots Alicia. Love the composition and contrast of the first photo.
ReplyDeleteEwwww but beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
your so cute I can't hardly stand it. I love this blog and your fabulous photography. I'm a mess with a camera! And to make spiders look beautiful..now that is talent ;)
ReplyDeleteSome gorgeous webs, but that middle photo made my skin crawl!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Great pics...no way I would be able to do that - I HATE spiders. Happy WW!!!
ReplyDeleteEwww! Shudders! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!!
I love the 3rd one. Beautiful spider and cool shot.
ReplyDeletehttp://postpartumillness.com/
Great photos but I don't think I'll be asking you for them anytime soon, ;)
ReplyDeleteok you know that I love your blog but this is one post that I quickly scrolled through and barely glanced at it. I usually don't mind spiders but when it's this up close and personal, it gives me the heebie jeebies!!
ReplyDeleteCool pictures, although the spiders still make my skin crawl a little just looking at them!
ReplyDeleteOkay....yes, their artwork is amazing...but ewwwww! :)
ReplyDeleteUmmm, let me just say, EWWWWW!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut, very nice macro's...I guess! lol :)
Love ya! But, EWWWWW!
Just beautiful photos! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSome stunning photography. You are very talented!
ReplyDeleteTo say I HATE spiders would be an understatement. But these photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect (and awe) for the beautiful photography... Ewwww! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo.. Love the web!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love spiders...not crawling on me or even near me, but they are facinating creatures for sure. I love the webs..amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow! Not a spider fan, but the photos are just lovely.
ReplyDeletegreat shots but scary!
ReplyDeleteEwwwww!
ReplyDelete:)
That last one is awesome, but eeek i feel like something is crawling on me!!
ReplyDeleteCreepy!
ReplyDeleteI played too. Mine are here and here.
I'm scared of spiders!
ReplyDeleteOMG... I think I am going to have nightmares tonight. eeeeek Happy WW
ReplyDeleteMy son loves spiders, I'm going to have to show him these photos. I, on the other hand, not the biggest fan of spiders. Still, love the photos though, thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteEWwwwww I hate spiders but they do weave a tangled web
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. I would love to have a camera that could do this. Maybe one day. www.jamarahcraftycreations.blogspot.com Sarah
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Linky!
Really cool pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove the close up of that spider.
ReplyDeleteEven though spiders creep me out, those are still some really cool pictures. Spider webs are definitely works of art.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the linky! Have a great day!
These are both beautiful and disgusting. that is amazing how you capture both emotions!
ReplyDeleteCool Pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteVery neat pics!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly bring myself to use "cute" and "spider" in the same sentence BUT these pictures almost make it seem possible! Nice!
ReplyDeleteWow! I hate spiders, but these pictures are really beautiful! You are very talented!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful WW!
Hug´s,
Verena
GOOD MORNING! I AM YOUR NEWEST FOLLOWER - FOLLOWING FROM THE WEDNESDAY BLOG HOPS! PLEASE COME VISIT & FOLLOW BACK! HAVE A GREAT DAY! :)
ReplyDeleteNICOLE
AWESOME PICTURES! YOU ARE VERY CREATIVE & AWESOME WITH THE CAMERA! :)
You did great! I've tried to capture a couple webs, but they are never that clear. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, but seriously gave me the willies. Spiders are NOT my friends. Even if they do talk and try to save cute pink pigs!
ReplyDeleteok, that is SO not Charlotte. I DO understand your fascination with their webs, though. Beautiful :) (kinda) LOL
ReplyDeleteOk, how brave are you??? I do love spider webs but I'm terrified of the things that make 'em!!! Great shots. Maybe if they talked to me with Julia Robert's voice I might like them more.
ReplyDeleteLots of yummy love,

I love the one with the spider in the screen! They're all amazing shots. Thanks for sharing. Visiting from Aspire. Happy Wednesday! Larri at Seams Inspired
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures but now I'm totally creeped out!
ReplyDeleteThe web is magnificent! Spiders really creep me out due to their jumping abilities but I can see the beauty in these shots!
ReplyDeleteThat is some great pictures! You captured that beautifully! What lens did you use?
ReplyDeleteDon't know when spiders and webs have looks so amazing! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I am not a fan of spiders AT ALL, but they do amazing work. I think my all time favorite spider web scene is when the dew is dripping from the web. I think it is beautiful and brings out the best detail. Garden spiders don't actually bother me but that cacoon thing they do....disgusting!!! We had one outside our patio door in our walk out basement and I wanted to puke every time I saw it!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, Alicia! So very neat! Loving these shots!
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeletethose are really great shots!!!
These are really beautiful photos. And I love Charlotte.
ReplyDeletePlease don't post any snakes though. I can't handle them.
Great shots! Spiders are quite fascinating. Thank you for the linky too!
ReplyDeleteWow, cool pictures, but totally freaky! Really beautiful and creepy all at the same time! I really hate spiders but in picture form, they are okay!! These make me want to try and get up close and personal to get some shots like these!!
ReplyDeleteSpiders are the one thing that totally creep me out...but you sure made them look artistic with your amazing shots! :)
ReplyDeleteWW: Why I Like Kids
I actually got some great spider pictures last week too! I just need to upload them and post to my blog. I absolutely HATE spiders, but love to photograph them. They are cool for that purpose!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW!! You put spiders in a whole new light for me today :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by From Aspire to follow! Great photos! http://www.ordinaryinspirations.blogspot.com Love, Traci
ReplyDeletePure talent!! These are amazing.
ReplyDeleteToday, I am participating in my first Wordless Wednesday, but my shots are taken with a crummy phone. Doh!
Ok, I was a tad bit scared to open this entry with the spiders but it wasn't bad at all! I don't do well around creepie crawlies. LOL Great photo!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
This was just absolutely fun! I could not believe someone else did spiders today, too!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking me up! :) and I love your web and spider shots. I have taken quite a few of them myself. :) such fun!
ReplyDeleteThe first spider and web picture is such a perfect shot. There is something about spiders that I find truly fascinating...
ReplyDeleteThese are such awesome shots!! Granted, the giant egg sack is kind of icky, but the beauty and art of the rest of them make up for the little gag I did. LOL Super pictures as always!! :o)
ReplyDeleteThis year we are being over run by spiders, so I'm not overly thrilled by this close up look! But how can one not marvel at such ingenuity? Your photos are absolutely excellent.
ReplyDeleteKudos!
What cool shots! Is that an egg sack? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat first one looks the spider we found just off our back porch, and I'm sorry, but there was nothing Charlotte's Web about the others. Haha.
ReplyDeleteReally great photos! But they give me the creepy crawlies just a bit! :)
ReplyDeleteEhh, I hate spiders! Yuck! But those pictures are amazing! I love how you captured the spider web.
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and following you. I would love if you stopped by my blog and followed me.
Blessings,
Maggie
