September was spider month. I couldn’t walk around the garden without crashing through webs or strands.

On damp days, there was a veritable bonanza of webs, rendered visible by the drops of water clinging to them.

I think the spiders responsible for these creations are of the orb-weaver type. They’re yellow-brown, with stripy legs. Most of the time they hang out in the middle of their webs, waiting for victims.

Sometimes, the “victim” is me, in which case no one is happy.

Otherwise, the garden has taken on its autumn wardrobe.
