The popular trail recently freed from a heavy snowfall, seems normal enough ...

Winter Spider Webs Salmon Creek Trail 2017

...yet rounding the bend, with the light just right you can see "new construction" from the arachnid world.

Not many flying insects active in the near-freezing air, but the droplets of fog are easily snared.

How industrious these web-weavers must be to produce such large webs in the winter season!

The morning hours are a great time to get out in Vancouver Washington, most any time of the year to explore and admire the beauty of the natural world.

When you look at the size and the design of those webs, you begin to understand how industrious and creative those little creatures are!

Hi Will Allen, these webs were very large, and I can only imagine it must have taken days to become as thick as they did!

That's a lot of work! I guess when prey is scarce that's what you have to do.

Hi Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089, it does seem like a lot of work. I sure hope they keep it up in the Summer time as they must surely be great at catching mosquitoes!

John, your photos are amazing, and that is what I saw in Costa Rica. HUGE webs and ginormous spiders! EWWWW!

Those are some serious webs and I wish our builders were this good and this fast!

Hi Debe Maxwell, I'm with you on not running into this webs thus, I do my best to stay out of the trail side thickets!

Roy Kelly, glad you checked in - much appreciated.

Patricia Feager, me too. There are so many interesting things to see and learn from in the natural world, and often close to home like these spiders.

Joan Cox, I bet Costa Rica has some huge spiders and equally huge webs. Must have been fun to visit.

Joe Pryor, wouldn't that be incredible if even the Home Loans could be put together that fast these days!
