Last week as I walked along the path to the beach, something in the tall grass caught me eye. I wouldn't have seen it, if not for the heavy dew.
It was a spider web, finely woven and shimmering in the sunlight. The beauty of it drew me closer and I snapped a few pictures, developing tunnel vision for this one web. So, when I looked up, I was very surprised to see...
that I was surrounded by spider webs. They were everywhere in the grass and woven so closely to each other that they were almost touching. I was baffled by how I missed seeing this right away.
It was really very pretty...at least to me...but then, I'm not afraid of spiders. Are you?
I wouldn't call them friends and I would probably tear them all down. I know I am not very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh! I have strong feelings about mice, snakes, and alligators...but spiders don't bother me.
DeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI'll just say that it depends on the size of the spider: I detest big spiders and immediately go into commando mode. I tend to tolerate little spiders.
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos!
DeleteI should probably clarify...I don't mind spiders when they are outdoors...they are not welcome in the house. (The exterminator is here spraying as I type.)
You must know how much I appreciate a great spider web and these are beautiful specimens! Spiders are amazing little creatures :)
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of you on the day I saw these webs. A very similar experience to one you had.
