And speaking of spiders - A Pic a Day in May #30

Well, no, we weren't actually speaking of spiders. But why not? They're everywhere and they help keep down the populations of annoying flying things. This little guy blended right in with his surroundings and I nearly overlooked him. Or her.

The underside of a tiny spider whose web was woven between the stems of wildflowers.

We had a terrific afternoon yesterday at the vacation home of some English friends who threw a little party. The house is about an hour south of us in a beautiful town called Le Grand Pressigny. The weather cooperated and the sun smiled on us most of the day.
