too lazy to search my photos for a good spiderweb, so I went outside and took a picture of an old hornet nest on the garage covered in one. it works for the theme, right? 🤷‍♀️🕷️🕸️

a large, abandoned hornet nest on our garage. the nest is made of a paper-like material, which is formed from chewed wood and saliva. it has a honeycomb structure visible on the underside and is covered in spiderwebs.

a black and white photo of two gravestones in a pioneer cemetery. The taller, more prominent gravestone on the left is for Frank McMullen, who died in November 1905. The one on the right is for Catherine McMullen, who is identified as the "beloved wife" of Frank McMullen. the gravestones are surrounded by tall grass and there are pine trees in the background.

Long, slender neck of an egret, with a great pose 😅

Photo of an egret taken from behind, so only back and long neck are seen, not the face. Long, skinny legs are spread in the sand, just on the outside of a foamy little ocean wave. Reflection of egret is seen in the watery shore.

a Great Blue Heron, a large wading bird, standing in shallow water in a marsh. The bird has a long, S-shaped neck, a long pointed bill, and is primarily slate-gray with some white and black markings on its head and neck. The water reflects the sunlight and is surrounded by tall, brown and green grasses.
