Center Of The Web
This web was huge and stretched across a little game trail I was following. I literally had to duck under it to keep going. The bold spider never budged and stayed put. I was able to get a shot with spider and web lit up by sunshine with pretty greenery behind it. Like other nearby webs, there were tiny water droplets on each of the web spokes. And they sparkle.

Beautiful, Healthy Fox
This happened at 1:05 am in my front yard. What a thick, luxurious winter coat it has already. Lots of black on the tail of this one too, you can see that tail clearly at the end of the short video. Animals know winter is coming.

Had a lot of fun with folks at the pollinator garden at Brookhaven this evening! The new Master Naturalists had a project here, and they did a LOT of great work. We spotted a bunch of bugs this evening at the black-lights too.
