Photo of Charotte's Web in the 21st century

As I was out walking this morning. I spotted what looked to be a computer disc hanging from a tree.
Upon closer inspection, there was a tiny spider making this web that was the exact same size as a cd. The sun was shinning thru the fine threads and it was an amazing sight to behold.
I knew it would be hard to take a picture, and the pictures do not show how perfectly this looked like a cd, but I tried anyway.
It is kind of a funny story, if you don't care to know it, skip now to picture two.

I walked back to the house and grabbed the camera and a spritzer of water.
After returning to the web, I took a couple pictures, spritzed with water and took a couple more.
The first pictures were too close and just looked like....well, a web. The later pictures misted, showed up better but lost all quality of fineness of the web.
I needed to dry the web again and start over.
(my mind works pretty quick yet)
I invisioned myself going back to the house, getting a hair dryer, a generator and the quad and coming back for the better picture. This morphed into a neighbor spotting me and asking why I would need a hair dryer in the woods.
Having no good answer, I would have to tell the truth. This would involve, I am sure, phone calls and "nice young men in their clean white coats"
Soooo, instead, you get bad out of focus pictures.
