One early morning recently I was walking through the marsh, lamenting that spectacular spider webs of the summer and early fall had disappeared. Suddenly I noticed that some of the plants were covered in a silky, web-like material. It was almost abstract in its construction and I wondered (and still wonder) about its purpose. This photo captures pretty well—in a minimalist set of colors and tone—the mysterious moodiness of that morning moment.

Don’t some caterpillars also use silk? I’m thinking of one that wraps itself in a leaf and ties it all together with silk to sleep in, but I don’t know its name.
Love the colors in this photo!
Thanks, Sue. Most of the time I love bright colors (I drive a car that is burnt orange in color), but these tones were beautifully muted.
