Isn't it amazing what you see at night, especially if you go looking? My son went into the garden and photographed this Orb Weaver Spider's web - isn't he/she beautiful? This spider has made its home among the leeks, which are flowering at the moment.
Orb Weaver Spiders are incredible, for they build large, suspended wheel shaped webs that they take down in the morning and re-build every night. To think that God created Orb Weaver spiders Ex Nihilo (out of nothing) is something that continues to amaze and astound me. The ability that He placed within them to spin the silk for the web is incredible. Have you ever taken the time to watch a spider spin its web? It is a wonderful science experiment - go ahead and try it sometime.
God's creation is absolutely spectacular, and I never cease to be amazed at the wonder, beauty and perplexity of it, and I praise His name.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

We have one of these spiders near the back gate, hubby was watching it with fascination building a web the other night. He took me out to show me in the torchlight.
Not very pretty spiders if there is such a thing as a pretty spider!
Hi Tania,
No, they're not very pretty, but what they lack in beauty, they more than make up for in their intricate web-making. I'm sure that God gave them skills that would fascinate us so that we could see past the spider's looks.
I absolutely loathe spiders inside, but outside, that's a different story. :)
Have a great week,
Blessings,
Jillian
