Halloween Spider Spin
I watched this guy spin for a while on Halloween night. Our acreage has three or four of these "Orb Weaver" spiders in action at any given time, this time of year, between trees or fence posts or branches. This one is actually orange and black, but I changed the camera color setting for better clarity. The speed of the video is half the actual speed.
CREEPY. BUT COOL.
CREEPY. BUT COOL.
The Season of Silhouette Begins Today
The season of silhouette begins today.
Standing in my tired garden,
Skeleton branches of stark trees stand dark against the western orange sunset.
Orb Weaver spins circle webs, backlit by eastern rising moon,
His orange color darkened in relief.
Black on gray.
Black on blue.
Black on orange sky.
Silhouettes suffice,
Until the spring restores the details.
