Home with a cold today, I went out in the rain to shoo the rabbit back into the house. He was in the garden beds. The leaves were covered with glistening little droplets, reflecting gray sky.
In among the overgrown basil was a black and yellow Argiope.
It’s a relief of sorts. We had a few in the yard last year, but I hadn’t seen any so far this year. Turns out I just hadn’t been looking in the right place.

hi friend. feel better soon. i love argiopes — had four of the females in my garden this past summer. they weave the most enchanting web with a little zipper.
