This was a really small spider; its body length was about 1cm. As I photographed it on the wall, I was puzzled by its pointing of either its front legs or abdomen towards the sky. Then I realised, it was sending silk thread out in to the air and waiting for the breeze to carry it to the branches of a tree high up. I watched it scurry up to a branch, as if by walking in mid-air :)
