Magical Webs

These cool winter evenings and much rain have brought in an unusually thick blanket of mist over the land.  The children are early risers and set out to explore the farm in the dark with a small torch light.  As the sun begins to shine and the mist slowly creeps away the magic begins to appear.

Spiders have intricately woven their webs in the trees, plants and grass.  The most spectacular designs present themselves, glistening with the tiny droplets of jeweled mist.

The delicate pink powder puff flower of the 'Mouribibi' thorn weed looks like those magical lights that softly glow and change colors. Note the tiny little webs.  When the tiny leaves are disturbed they fold up and close.

Layered webs beds, so thick and comfortably nestled between the branches of the citrus trees.

Fungi and mushrooms are magical signs that the fairies have visited the area, dancing and prancing under the silver moon light surrounded by the dazzling fire flies and glow worms.
