Natural Act

'Tis the season in Olympia for spiders to spin their webs on my balcony.  The webs are usually in corners where anchors are convenient.  One spider, though, went big time and strung her web out in the open.  The center was almost six feet above the floor and was situated about halfway between the balcony railing and the building eaves.  The upper web line was a good seven feet long.  It looked about thus:

The web was not exactly convenient for patio users but was far too impressive to simply knock down.  By the following morning a large portion of the inner web was broken and the spider was rebuilding.  At that point we encouraged her to relocate.
