These webs were like translucent nets
tossed across foliage, bearing accumulations
of midsummer dust, fir needles, petals --

  2. I love what Willow said -- now of course I'm thinking of the novel!! So grand, so strange. I love seeing pictures of the unexpected, like these spider webs.

  5. Nice, T.! I've seen webs like these and they're devilishly hard to photograph, especially with my digital.
