When they feel a vibration on their web they hurry out to bite the prey. I was able to gently tap on the web, so you can see what the spider looks like.
Yesterday we spent a few hours on Presque Isle. While near the Coast Guard residence, we heard a siren and saw the Coast Guard boat speeding out the channel. We heard later that there was a large fishing boat out on the lake that was sinking. It did sink, but all on board were rescued.
Lots of family fishing fun.
A tall ship sailing toward us with the North Pier lighthouse in view.
The Denis Sullivan from Milwaukee, Wisconsin sails toward the city of Erie, Pennsylvania.
Driving around the Peninsula, we see this lady sitting out back of her camper enjoying the sun.
We signed up for a 1 hour ride on this pontoon boat ride. It takes you on a really peacefulcruise out to the Lagoons. More on this ride later in the week.

Interesting spiders. We have similar ones here in Western Australia.
Lovely gossamer.
I love that tall ship.Even though I have spent all my life on the prairies,I like to see the majesty of those sails unfurled.Thanks.
Blessings,Ruth
The Denis Sullivan is an impressive looking ship!
It has never occurred to me to tap on the web of a funnel weaver to get it to show itself. You are so clever!
I look forward to seeing a little more about the lagoon.
Nice series. I like the tall ship shots especially.
Looks like a nice day and sunny skies.
How glorious to go fishing with a ship sailing by.
What a cool spider web! Every time you post the lake, I wish I was there with you. Great shots. That must have been interesting to see the Coast Guard boat go out and know where they went. I'd love going on the pontoon boat. Look forward to seeing what you saw.
