Backyard spider

Our azalea bushes in the backyard are covered with these spiders. They spin really dense webs that look like the mesh in a window screen. Now they’re all tending little silk bundles – I guess they’re either eggs or prey saved for later?

Popular berries

Strange fruit

I spent some time in the yard with the 50/4 macro lens the last couple of days. When these plants popped up this spring they looked like sunflower plants, but now not anymore – they’ve got huge leaves and these weird fruit things. I’m a little afraid of what they’re going to do next…
