Some spiders weave complex geometrical patterns.
Some don’t.
Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on. Forget carpe diem: this is more like arripe occasionem.

Wow! How striking,
Tom
Tom – It is, isn’t it? It almost reconciles me to spiders. Almost . . .
What a wonderful world. It is all so miraculous.
Barbara – Well, yes, although there are some slimy bits, too. I saw a green heron cavorting in a pond in St. Augustine this week and got 1 or 2 almost sharp photos, but the pond he was in was scummy. It doesn’t make for nice photos.
Splendid composition! This web makes a fascinating subject because we have become so accustomed to the geometrical webs. I will watch for more of these.
Laurna – Thank you. I only saw this one because the sun was in the right position and it was at the right height for me. Sorta makes you wonder what we miss . . .
