Your photographs are arresting, and this one is exceptional. Are these dill blossoms?
I’d like to eat this spider, it looks like fine sugarworks. Pretty capture.
The delicate architecture of the flower, white light and soft pale body of the spider convey a beauty that belies the indelicacies act at hand. Very nice.

Thank you for all the nice responses. I appreciate the pleasure. The flowers are Queen Anne’s Lace (Dill might be in the same family) and the spider is a Goldenrod Spider, I believe. I have only ever seen one on goldenrod once, and it was yellow with red stripes – they are about a half inch in size. Anne
