I woke up and went out to see that the sky was misting. It never did rain, but it made for some pretty cool spider webs.

I have lots of those too, lately we've been waking up to fog, and they are all misted over. I've been seeing lots of those orb-spinning spiders too, the ones that hatch in the spring, and then usually show up in droves in the fall. Lots of small ones setting up shop now, already. It's a little freaky when you walk into their old abandoned webs with your face. Your photos make the webs look kind of ghostly.
ReplyDeleteThe fog is indeed a friend when it renders those webs visible. Pretty, yes, but what Alison said: running into them face first is not my favorite way to appreciate the spider's art (especially as I imagine the artist skittering down my back).
ReplyDeleteI agree - walking through the web is bad enough, but then wondering where the home owner is, is worse! At least these little guys make their webs on the ground.
