It's easy, if not cliche, to find metaphors in nature. So I won't go there. But I will say - I think I have a thing or two to learn from spiderwebs. Things like how to have a work ethic or "you can rebuild your veggie garden that was devastated by a hail storm".

Nina Katchadourian* found a not so trite way of saying it. In fact, it's genius.

P.S. there isn't anything that gives me the heebie-jeebies more than walking through a spider web. Am I right?

I'm feeling sticky just reading this post! = )

That first picture belongs on a wall. I can't believe you captured that.

I HATE walking through spider webs. My parent's garden gets those big garden spiders every year, and for 4 months we walk around the front and back of the house with sticks. We wave them like morons and I'm sure we look crazy, but it's better than getting a fat spiderweb in our faces.

Aah, memories.

Spiders and webs always make me think of Louise Bourgeois's spiders and our daughter, Charlotte. Both are awfully beautiful, so I can't say I have a problem with spiders at all.
