    She is beautiful, looks like the orb weaver spiders that I often see later in the summer.

    I just actually watched the original animated Charlotte's Web movie the other night. We could learn a lot about appreciating beauty and life in all forms from that story.

    Not really related, (and perhaps a bit sappy), but my favorite song from the movie, and what I think of whenever I see a beautiful shimmering orb weaver web http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKvuj9lAfCc&

    Are you sure she isn't a cat-eater?
    (You know that my irrational old self rather thinks she's a man-eater )

    Barbara I am right with you on that! I am not a fan of spiders at all, God's creatures or not. I would either have to stop taking the litter to the trash or come at Charlotte with a big old can of bug spray.

    Sara,

    You are a brave woman - Charlotte and I would not get on well Barbara's theory may have some merit .... have the E's investigated her web yet?

    Wow, that's a spider!! Isn't it amazing how strong their web is. I had one sitting outside my window for a few days, it was raining and quite stormy - didn't seem to affect the spider at all.

    I was going to ask... have the E's noticed yet?

    She only comes out at night. She sleeps somewhere during the day. And the Es are not suppose to be outside at night! She is up rather high off the ground as well.

    There is beauty in a spider web design, in the spider itself, not so much.
    I wouldn't want one on me but would never kill one either.
