The Season of Mists and Webs
September 2024
The season of mists and webs has arrived. This morning was a world of magic webs,
so beautiful. Little microcosms of our planet and our universe. Gentle reminders of
the interconnectedness of everything. Their fragility and delicacy also calls our
attention to the fragility of the great WEB. Their invisibility in the full light of day
invites our reflection too.
Spider webs in the morning
For some reason the spider often uses figwort to support or string up its web. Figwort is likely to be among the plants we ‘weed’ out of our gardens but many years ago I discovered bees love its what-seems-to-us little insignificant flowers. We would be slow to call them flowers. Invariably at this time of the year it is host to the web.
