Stubborn Arachnids

As you can tell, the travel keeps my vehicle super clean. 08/2025

Hitchhikers come in diverse shapes and sizes. This one remained on my rear window from one SkyTrain station to another. I guess we all sometimes prefer being chauffeured to taking transit.

Spiders are remarkably resilient, are they not?

I am going to cheat again on my one-a-week photo mission and share the shot below, of a web in my parents’ garden (taken perhaps a dozen years ago) that we had to remove in order to clean and repaint the fence. Once the work was done, the web was back up in a couple of days. Glistening in the same spot (when viewed at the right angles). The picture does not do its size justice – it was quite a ways from the fence, suspended six feet above the ground and ten feet between the shed and some small trees.

I never saw the creature behind the construction. All I can say for sure is that it innately harbored far more patience than I ever will.
