Webs

There is one thing that bothers me when I go on forest walks in the morning.

Spiderwebs.

It's not as bad as walking into a giant web face-first - not an uncommon occurrence from my chilhood. Usually, these are just baby-webs that the spiders got started on but never got a chance to complete. 

Still, they cling to my face and arms, and I don't love that feeling.

There is enough human traffic on the trails to prevent anything big from being spun, but first thing in the morning, I may be the first one through, and oh boy, those spiders must have had a busy few hours since the sunrise.

So, if you happen to see a person waving arms randomly while walking along a trail - that's probably me, doing preventative arm movements to avoid getting the spiderwebs on my face. Or if you see a person waving a tree branch in front of them - yep, also me.

As little as I appreciate spiderwebs on my face, I have to say - I truly, really appreciate spiders. Anything that eats mosquitos is my friend.
