First Spiders of the Year

It SNOWED here in the last three weeks. The first leaves came out YESTERDAY.

I knew that as soon as the trees got leaves, te spiders couldn't be far behind.

Last night was cool and rainy, so I didn't expect any.

Today was warm. This evening was cool, but not as cool as yesterday and dry.

Sure enough, there were quite a few orb weavers hanging from the eaves of the garages.

Thanks.

I noticed after the fact that my aperture was much more open than I usually have it.

Next time they should be completely in focus.
