I’m always amazed at the beauty of a simple Spider web.

I took the above picture last night as the sun was starting to set.

Simply beautiful for a split second, with time and hour and planets lined up just right. like a tiny moment of Zen.

10 seconds later a yellow jacket hit the web and a short battle ensued, with the spider using all eight legs like a mad typist. The objective was to avoid that stinger, encase the victim in webbing, and supply a food source for her unborn progeny.
