DREAM WEAVER
Eve's Garden - Marathon, Texas

Out in the main garden we found a spectacular Orb Weaver, a quite fabulous example of arachnid beauty. She was glorious, and the perfect punctuation point to the atmosphere of the Bed and Breakfast. Her underside was every bit as interesting as her top side, and we could see where her silken webs came from. You never know when you're going to get a glimpse of the mysterious, which ought to be fair warning to keep your eyes open at all times, and most especially so at Eve's Garden.
