I took a walk with my dog the other day and discovered -- almost too late -- that several places were guarded by enormous networks of webs hiding enormous spiders. They're rumored to eat birds, but that may just be to titillate the tourists. There was no dew to showcase the webs. Thick as the humidity was that day, you'd think it would have at least had the decency to highlight potential web traps, but no. These spiders were well camouflaged. I nearly walked into a giant web housing at least a couple of dozen.more cowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867825812404503048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-90886625712750426592015-10-10T22:20:05.739+01:002015-10-10T22:20:05.739+01:00The photos are perfect reminders of the season.The photos are perfect reminders of the season.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-2332591445646712542015-10-10T09:41:38.882+01:002015-10-10T09:41:38.882+01:00Thanks for calling by Hilly.

I am only familiar with puddings such as chocolate, butterscotch, banana, bread, etc. What IS summer pudding? <br />I loathe spiders, but can certainly appreciate the artistry in their webs. Seems funny that English spiders spin the same webs as American spiders, though they be miles and oceans apart.Hilltophomesteaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926731207526014550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-17530391727637174972015-10-10T04:16:03.318+01:002015-10-10T04:16:03.318+01:00Bejeweled spider's webs and a truly delicious ...Bejeweled spider's webs and a truly delicious lunch - a good day all round.<br /><br />Well done Frances.<br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-14148360419410328372015-10-10T03:34:23.480+01:002015-10-10T03:34:23.480+01:00You must be kidding!
