The Web
June 27, 2010
A couple of days ago the weather turned cool so we woke to very heavy fog conditions. It is always pretty here when fog envelopes everything leaving just a few feet around the house just barely visible. The boat horns sound through the heavy fog - one blast every minute to make sure other boats know they are there. This is the perfect time to grab the camera looking for photo opportunities. I spotted several spider webs heavy with the moisture from the heavy fog.
Spider webs are greatly under-appreciated works of art! Their intricate fine webbing is enough to make anyone who crochets jealous. Quite often spider webs indoors are hastily brushed aside when cleaning not realizing that they are a tell tale sign of air leakage. Outdoors spider webs are swept from window wells and door ways because they look unsightly without considering how many insects spiders trap each night. Outdoors during times of heavy dew or frost spider webs become magical, mystical works of art to be enjoyed for a short period of time. What a great photo opportunity!
