Brookside Spider Web

As I was walking around the Brookside Gardens conservatory (the one that is not in use for the butterfly house this time of year), I glimpsed a spider web over the narrow rock lined stream that winds through the tropical foliage. I decided to see how well my new camera (Canon PowerShot SX280 HS) would capture it. The lighting was not optimal. I could only see the web from a particular vantage point and I could not see the spider itself very clearly at all because it was so small.

As you can see from the pictures I’ve included, the camera did an admirable job. Even the fuzziness of the spider’s legs is visible!
