Dew on webs



How time flies, life gets in the way, and the posts I mean to put up as things happen end up waiting for another day.

What an amazing morning it was last week. Husband was walking Duncan early and called me to come see the dew on the spider webs. The sun was just coming over the tree line and the dew glittered on thousands of strands of spider silk. Not just the Orb webs which we think of on Halloween which are built by Garden Spiders, but what looked like miles of silk strands stretching long distances from tree branches to tree branch or from tree tips to the grass. They were especially visible on the spruces but the fruit trees and shrubs were shrouded too. The spiders had been busy creatures during the night decorating our yard for Halloween a month early.
