These type of Orb Weavers are not that common at our spot but we do get them from time to time.
It’s a bit too hot during the day at the moment to be blissful … blisterful if one is not careful.
That said, after 17: 30 it’s very pleasant.
I think you would enjoy a balmy stroll around the garden this time of year. Dogs trailing along, cats playing tag in the undergrowth, fish splashing in the pond, Ibis heading home as they trawl across a sky full of wispy clouds. With an cold glass of red wine in hand, and pasta, home made bread and Greek salad awaiting us on the stoep,
Tempted?
I know … I’m so mean. But anytime you and Mr G are passing, dear Tish, you know you will always be welcome.

‘in the lemon trees’ – that sounds so blissful, Ark. Also an astonishing looking arachnid.

“Conjuring”? Is that what it’s called in Ark’s dungeon and Hedge maze labyrinths of critters? π
