This morning the desert ash woke in surprise to find that it had a new coat. Not a green coat of leaf buds in anticipation of spring; rather, delicate threads of labour from the local spider population, which were back lit and starkly exposed by the early morning sun. A host of traditionally-shaped cob webs breathed gently in the breeze, pulsating with the rhythm and movement of a skeletal and tentacle-free jelly fish. Lower down on the trunk a dense criss-crossing of webbing revealed the energetic and renegade style of a free form spider. All artists were absent from their installations: perhaps camera shy or exhausted from their collective efforts? More likely they were hiding in the nooks and crannies of the ash’s crusty bark, allowing their prey the opportunity to select at leisure from the seemingly innocent array of mist catchers. At some point during the day—when I was otherwise focused on my computer screen—the webs were reclaimed for recycling in some future spinning frenzy.

What a remarkable way you have with words. I have missed that. And what a coincidence, I was thinking of you only yesterday before I got the post, planning on messaging you today!
Karen, you have such a beautiful way with words. You need to write a book.
I reckon that is what we need to call web art and with the water on them makes for a beautiful photo.
It has crossed my mind several times that I’d like to take a road trip across to see you guys. But I will have to be patient. xkx
Lovely poetic portrayal Karen you weaver of words.
Lois, you are right … web art. I should have taken a video as well. They were quite magical the way they were moving. xkx
How calming your posts are thank you xx
You don’t do too bad yourself, Rod. Keep them photos coming. xkx
Really enjoyed your words Karen I could imagine those webs in my mind without the pictures.
