Mother Nature, that is.  The other morning, I awoke to this little slice of beauty:

And I was so awestruck by it, by how I almost missed it, that I grabbed my lame camera from Costco and a kid's chair and snapped this.  No dewdrops, you'll notice.  It's been really dry and hot for we in the lovely Pacific Northwest (though I'll take it over anywhere else.  Seriously, have you BEEN to Dallas?  What a shithole.). 

The Tweedles (Secunda and Tertia) are in full-on phobia mode right now and spiders is IT.  I love spiders. 

We are currently agreeing to disagree.
