Came across this lovely spider web on a recent hike through Elk Falls Provincial Park just west of Campbell River. Luckily, it was not stretched across the trail…and…the dappled light coming through the forest was just right for taking a photo. What an engineering wonder!

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, I missed snapping my photo when the spider was posing in the centre of its web. Just as I was set to take the picture, the spider skittered to the edge of its web. I took a snap of him there anyways and on a closer inspection I realized the spider had just caught its lunch!
