SOME LAWN


(In case it's not clear what you're seeing above- each one of those shiny strands is a parachute spider that has left home... )(yeah, millions of them)

    Amazing is the word! Does this happen to this degree every year, or are you seeing more this fall than usual?

    I love gossamer time (Goose Summer). Now that I am a Seattleite, I don't see it, but remember it from my more countrified youth. Spiders are a good thing.

    Wasn't Charlotte (of Web fame) a parachute spider? Seems I remember her babies floatinging away. What a great photo! Thanks for sharing it.
