Day 318: Spider Season

Each August, all those tiny little spiders who are still left after spring, start gaining size and girth. Their webs become both beautiful and huge. At times, the most obvious place for a spider to build a web is smack, in the middle of a human walking space.

This morning we awoke just before dawn and made our way to the pool. As I entered the gate, I was stopped short by a huge web that spread from the hedges across the walk way and to the building on the left. A big garden spider sat directly in the center of the web.

We walked around the hedge, bypassing the web. But how many times have I walked or ran right into a monstrous web, in the dark? It's that season again!
