Nets and web

At 5.15am this morning I deactivated my Face Book account for the second time in the past three years. Nothing to add to that really, it's just a decision I've made. It's good to be awake and listening to the rain, which has been falling in short bursts for the past hour. I still think early morning is the best part of the day - so quiet and dark, everything feels gentle and calm. I don't remember sleeping during the night - my head hit the pillow and then suddenly I was awake again. I must have been incredibly tired. I fell asleep thinking about the giant wheel-shaped spider web I photographed yesterday at the back of one of the units. I found it amazing that the web remained intact even though the wind was quite strong. The strands were several meters wide and the central net of silky bands at least 30 cm, so I can only assume the web must have been made by an Orb spider. Nets and webs - see, there is a connection in this mornings post.
