Thank you! I always thought cobwebs were what you called spiders webs that you had failed to clean up around the house! Glad to be corrected makes me feel like less of a domestic goddess failure. Re the large # of spiders webs at your place, me too, I think it has to do with being close to a larger vibrant ecosystem, forest for you, grassy woodland for me. The numbers of spiders in the grassland is mind boggling, on a dewy morning the entire grass landscape is draped in webs, made visible by the dew. Your posts have a kind of magic, they invite me to slow down like no others do. Xo

this was so interesting, thank you and an especially big thank you for not including any pictures of the spiders. I am like you, wish to be cool with them but am so not.

Hard to pick a favourite, these are all so good. That second last big group of images is really amazing, like galaxies in the night sky.

I lose count of the number of cobwebs that I walk through accidentally on my morning walk in the food forest! No doubt a few spiders hitching a ride on me for a while.
