This tiny spider was hanging on in the wind at the area we call “the beach” along the Rio Grande. Other than parts of her web glistening in the sunshine as they were whipped by the wind, the spider didn’t seem to have anything to hold on to.

Off Center & Not Even 
That little spider is a pretty good architect/builder. The second photograph lets me see the glistening of one strand, while the first lets my imagination picture the complexity of the web from the small, glistening spots. Thank you.
Hi Susan. It’s amazing how they get their webs anchored and built across what are huge distances in comparison to their size.
Brill shots Sir. I’m not jealous that I can’t take them like this, at all. Hehe!
Thanks, Inchcock. I had to use manual focus and be quick with the wind blowing the spider around.
Well done, I shall try to do better with me Boll-Weevil shots when they return. Hehe!
But did he have any answers?
She was just hanging on. Thanks, Teri!
Yet, he’s still there…in your pics.
I love/fear spiders. Fab creatures, all in all.
Thanks, Resa!
They never cease to amaze me how industrious they are!
Spiders are amazing. Thanks, Julie.
Great shots, they are beautiful beings. They’re sly little boogers too. I capture them with my small glass and postcard system to take them outside. Sometimes they spot me spotting them, in the 3 seconds it often takes to grab stated glass, they devised an escape route & have vanished. I’m left dumb-founded saying aloud, “Come here you cute bastard, I’m your friend, you’ll be happier in the warm sun!” like a moron.
Thanks, Dawn. We leave spiders in the house with the exception of Black Widows. They get put outside.
