Dewy spider web Today dawned rainy, and though any little bit of precipitation is welcome—it's been a dry summer—I was hoping for more. The Weather Channel forecast, was, as usual, dire, suggesting we were in for it, with thunderstorms, flash floods, and hail a possibility, but I had my doubts. The forecasters have been wrong so often this summer—it rains, but not here—that it's probably better not to even check out their prognostications. Their track record held up, and by the time I was done with breakfast, the expected deluge was more a gentle mist. I headed out with an umbrella and my trusty old Fuji, which is smaller than my DSLR and easier to shelter from the rain. Not much was going on in the natural world, save the fact that the moisture had turned the night's spider webs to very photogenic jewels.
