Nature's suspension bridge--that's what the spider builds.
With the unseasonable warm weather and crafty spiders at work, can spring be far behind?
Spiders are already building their webs on fruit trees yet to bud and bloom. They're setting traps for the honey bees, carpenter bees, bumble bees, hover flies and other insects sure to arrive.
Such was the case on our nectarine tree the other morning. A suspension bridge with silvery pearls of dew. Too soon. Too cold. Sorry, no insects.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a lens you must have on your camera. Nature is pretty awesome. I too have budding and very inquisitive bumble and honey bees when I set outside in the sun. Great photo, Sandy Ross

Thanks. This was taken with a Nikon D700 with a 105 macro lens.
