I don't think I've ever seen so many spiderwebs. Every morning when I go out back to check on the swimming pool, I either walk into one or just avoid one. There's even been webs woven right across the swimming pool.
Normally spiders don't worry me too much, except the other night Matt and I watched a movie called "Ice Spiders" which basically involved giant spiders eating everybody at a ski resort. That is, eating them after a) ripping their limbs off, or b) crushing their heads or c) paralysing them and wrapping them in a cocoon.
So every morning the sunlight catches webs on fences (like above), or in the roses, or just about anywhere. I can't work out how one managed to spin a web right across the pool to a tree on the other side.
The bull-ants aren't as scary, but if we are sitting on the floor watching TV we sometimes see the inch-long ants exploring. It's not too bad unless you see one about to bite your finger or something.
I got a new f1.8 lens the other day, so I've been playing around with it so see how well it performs. I got it to allow me to take better indoor photos without a flash, but it seems to take nice sharp photos outside as well.
I just went outside and another spider, or maybe the same one as previously, had strung a single strand across the width of the pool and was building a new web. It moved so quickly it was hard to take a non-blurry photo in the evening light. I guess that means that we'll have good weather tomorrow.
