Web of skill

This morning when I went outside, I saw something that simply took my breath away. A garden spider had spun a web from a low lying pine tree limb up to the cable wire that runs along the roof of our home. The web was massive and captured within its silkiness was a praying mantis. The mantis was framed with drops of dew. I would have walked right into the middle of it, had it not been illustrated with dewdrops. Last I looked, the web was still there and more insects had been captured by this busy spider.
