p.1 #1 · Some 'underside' shots of 'Charlotte' the Orb Weaver doing web repair

Several times in the last couple months I have seen 'Charlotte' (my wife's name for her) rebuilding a mostly destroyed web. I suspect the occasional sparrow crashes into it -- I'm not sure. Charlotte has already produced about three batches of eggs since she first showed up a couple months back.
If you look carefully, in several images you can see web coming from her 'spinneret' and the base of her abdomen.

Anyway, I thought these were fun shots as they the DOF makes her web almost invisible from the underside.
