We hit the marsh at sunset with the sun to our backs. All looked normal. Then we turned around to head out and this. One of the few days a year when word gets out for the spiders to spin their webs and fly! Obviously, they all got the call. These are taken from outside the car although they might look like moving vehicle photos.

Great captures, but I can assure you I will not be trespassing near here, ever!
I'm not afraid of spiders, but the sheer enormity of the work done scares me to death.
Wow. Please let me know where this is so I can avoid it for the rest of my life.
Thanks!
