       | What You Must Think!
         
          You probably think i
         have an overinflated sense of myself or something to offer a
         'best photo of the week,' but actually, it's the nature
         around me that hopefully makes it interesting, not my
         photographic skills (or lack thereof). Anyway, here's the
         shot that makes me the happiest for this week:
         
          3-2-1 Houston, we
         have liftoff! Small (and sometimes large)
         spiders frequently use their own web as a means of
         transportation.  It's called ballooning, and they spray out
         a very thin web to catch the wind.  This little one had
         rolled out a couple of feet of web and the next shot was
         gone, man.
         
            PREVIOUS
         SHOTS
         
          I'll hold on to the
         weeks previous shots until webspace starts growing thin for
         better things.
