Welcome to "The Photographs of Spiders' Webs"
Who could not notice the ephemeral beauty of spiders'
webs that get wet with the morning dew?
Throughout history, spiders' webs have inspired not only scientists, but
artists and poets as well.
Spiders' webs are, so to speak, the work of an art, and are among the great
wonders of natural world.
The variety of spiders' webs form one of the most fascinating and exquisite
tales that natural history has to offer.
If you want to see several different kinds of photographs of spiders' webs,

A poem written by EB White for his wife Katharine:
"Natural History"
The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unwinds a thread of her devising:
A thin, premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all the journey down through space,
In cool decent, and loyal-hearted,
She builds a ladder to the place
From which she started.
Thus I, gone forth, as spiders do,
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken strand to you
For my returning.
