    It's August again so they're finally out. With Erin gone and Dean probably coming in, this one decided to make a web at human level between a stem/leaves of a palm tree and it's trunk, and I almost ran into it going to the backyard to throw out some trash. It's smaller than the one last summer, but that one was white. Macro lens, handheld, finally had to give up as the wind reappeared and boy was it flying in the wind.

    It's almost as if it's smiling at me...and mocking me at the same time. ISO 1600, 1/125 sec, f/10

    ISO 1600, 1/80 sec, f/10, oversharpened, not a 100% crop.

    Coming up next week I'll pay homage to a former U.S. Representative from Tennessee and some guy that designed knives, and visit the Riverwalk. Maybe I'll run into Jack Flack. You never know.
