Sharing lunchtime

Saturday I had just returned from my first volunteer activity with the Virginia Master Naturalist and decided to have my lunch out on the deck. It was fall weather here but Saturday was heavy overcast and breezy. But still well worth eating outside.

I was partway through my sandwich when I noticed a spider wrapping up a bee. The web stretched from the table umbrella to my whiskey barrel pond. It was a very hairy spider. My wife hunted on Bug Guide and identified it as an Orb Weaver.

It was a fun lunch to share with "someone" special.
