The Last Flowers of Summer

Summer is almost over, so I decided to take some photos of the last flowers of the season.

A combination of allergies, high wind and LCD screen glare, meant that these photograph didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. Ah, well.

Attack of the Isty Bitsy Spiders

About a month ago, I got up, in the morning, to walk the dog. The field we walked through was filled with hundreds of dew-covered spider webs.

I had to walk the dog through this.

Every single one of those white patches is a spider web.

You get a bit itchy just looking at it.

This guy mostly caught a bunch of water.

Nobody was home in this web.

I thought that this one was very pretty.

The next day, all the webs were gone, or, maybe, it just seemed that way because there wasn’t as much dew to make them visible.

Yeah, so, I really need to get into the habit of posting my photographs right away, instead of waiting a month, or more.

Flickr Dump #8

Yay! This is the last flickr dump! It’s pictures 351 to 397. I’m a little upset that it’s not a nice, round number. Anyway, click a tumbnail for a larger version.

That’s all, folks! Well, actually, there were more photographs in my flickr account, but I didn’t think they were that interesting.

This is the second to last flickr dump. These are photos 301 to 350. Click for bigger.
