Spider web with raindrops
Here is a spider web with raindrops - "catenaries and [tiny] dirigibles" as Joanna Newsom sings. There's no spider to be seen, but maybe this is the work of a Cobweb Spider (Theridiidae) with that haphazard web? It doesn't really matter, but I believe the shrub is an interesting Shreve Oak (Quercus parvula var. shrevei, Fagaceae) with leaves that are smooth and shiny underneath, see this photo - and ignore what I call it there. There was gloom, drizzle, and wind this morning - all at the same time. I did the best I could for photos. Arachtober 30. (San Marcos Pass, 30 October 2016)
