Walking at night
Posted on | March 16, 2008 | No Comments
Since it has been so, so, so, so, so, so unrelentingly hot here lately, I’ve taken George for walks a couple of times after Tilda’s gone to sleep. But don’t tell Tilda that – if she discovered that I entrusted her care to her capable (albeit sleeping) grandparents, she might not trust me enough to ever fall asleep again.
Tonight I came back at the end of the walk to get my camera, so that I could take pictures of a spider in the underpass under Station Street.
It seems to have been a Garden Orb-Weaving Spider.
I was lucky to have George there to protect me in the dark. We saw a fox in that underpass once!
The web was anchored by a strand that went to the ground. Unfortunately, as we left George ran right through that strand, and the spider was left in a bit of a web taco.
