I hate days like this… I feel twitchy after spending the last 2 days pulling weeds in my gardens and having bugs crawl all over me… I still feel like I’m going to have a panic attack. I know I should be used to this by now and I know bugs are no big deal, really, but I still cannot help the way I react. I try so hard to play it cool and to stay calm. I have these huge spiders in my flower beds and when you startle them they run toward you – not away from you. It freaks me out. Not to mention the beetles, ants and roaches that live in the taller weeds and thick grasses that I have to deal with. I hate this feeling… everything that touches me makes me flinch. I’m so jumpy. I think I will just sit calmly the rest of the day and sip tea and watch Netflix.

I absolutely LOATHE spiders, as far as I’m concerned there isn’t a boot made big enough to squish them well and truly. HOWEVER, your capture of the spider-web with all the water droplets attached is simply GORGEOUS!
Thanks…. I really had fun photographing the web… it’s so rare to find a morning humid enough to leave dew droplets on the webs but not so humid it fogs my camera lens. 🙂
The web is so beautiful. Love it.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful shot of the web. I’m with you on the bug thing. We are seeing a lot of caterpillars this year and while some people find them cute they give me the willies.
Ha ha… I love the caterpillars… 🙂 and I honestly don’t mind the spiders as long as they are comfy on their web… just not overly fond of them crawling on me… (shivers…)
I know! bugs should be seen and not felt! except butterflies and lady bugs 🙂
