Spiders

Recent downpours increased insect activity. The mozzies are big and viscous, the spiders are growing fat and the webs are huge. It’s the early mornings that you realise that we’re slowly getting covered in silk. Albeit a bit scary, also ridiculously pretty. The different patterns and even colours woven into the webs.
