This was an interesting spider web. According
to Bob, these spiders actually spin webs that are slippery rather than
sticky. Then, their bowl-shaped webs actually trap their prey by having
them slide down to the bottom of the bowl, where they're then unable to
climb out. |

A pine branch in the early morning --
dewdrops hanging off. |

Some of the deer in the front yard of the
farmhouse. This isn't really the greatest picture -- it was dusk and I
was using a lens doubler without a remote shutter release, so I was
having to play tricks with the self-timer on the camera to try to get a
steady shot. None of these really turned out all that great, but I just
had to call this page flora AND fauna. |

A cricket in the backyard of the Lyrens in

A daddy longlegs (or a close relative) in the

river. Carson actually discovered the spider and pointed it out. |
