The Spiders' Webs

Spiders moved in while I was gone. Long lines stretch between the eaves of the house and the top branches of a Nandina by the door. And between the leaves of the Lacey Oak and those of the Mexican Bush Sage in the front yard. And I saw another one in the middle of a garden bed, shining in the noonday sun.

Spiders, with their woven webs set up in the places where I usually walk. Sitting still in the middle, waiting for some unfortunate to fly by.

It was daytime when I saw them, and the sun beat relentlessly down upon us. But now it is night. The sun is gone, and the air is cooler, and I bet there are more unfortunates flying around out there.

Good spots those spiders chose while I was gone. I've lost my claim to them. I'll have to tread carefully for a while.
