My Own Charlotte

Wednesday night I was outside
and my face ran into a cobweb that I couldn't see.

It felt like a big one.

All I could think about was
that the spider was on me!

I turned the outside light on and this is what I found:

She is so cute inside the agapanthus!
(you should click on that picture to see just how cute she is)

I named her Charlotte.

I knew she would be remaking her web
the next night and was determined to get her picture.

So I watched and waited.

And waited and watched.

She didn't like the flash very much
and kept running back to the safety of her flower.

Inside I would go to wait for her to come back
out of the flower and start building again.

I eventually figured this was going to
be a long process and decided to go to bed.

When I left her she was still spinning her web,
I'm sure thinking of all the glorious food she
would be able to catch once she finished.

This is what I woke up to in the morning:

"RADIANT"

I wonder how long it took her to create that?

And this picture, while it isn't the greatest
of quality, shows you where she built her web:

Right smack dab in the middle of the walkway to the barn.

The perfect place for someone to walk right into it :)
