The Bear's Blog said...: That looks like a Banana Spider's web. They are harmless but can give you a good scare if you don't see it until you are too close for comfort.

Petite Plangonophile au chocolat said...: Hi Diane! It is good to be able to read your blog again.
Guess what. I am the kind who always ends up with cobwebs sticking to my hair, face or arms.
Sometimes I feel like they do that on purpose and cast those invisible silky threads on my path, at the right height. Those cheeky spiders!

Veronica Roth said...: Lol, tell me about it! I end up wearing all the cobwebs these days as I take a walk thru my garden. Then, there was the other one who spun his web right on my car's side mirror and hung on for a ride x town. He can go home and tell his family of the great windstorm of 2014!; October 25, 2014 at 7:51 PM
