Spiffy, Spooky Spider Spinning Sprawling Web
It appears that spiders make bigger and much more interesting webs in Maine than they do in Colorado. We walked on one pier that had a giant web on almost every support pole. Our second day in Maine began with a lot of fog, so the webs had nice diamondy droplets on them..
I was looking up wikipedia information on spiders and found this photo of fried spiders in Cambodia:
Maybe I don't know what I'm missin', but....
Anyway, I hope you're having fun and staying cool this summer Saturday!

What We Did On Our Summer Vacation
We're back! There's no place like home, Toto! Buddha (the dog) was squealy happy to see us when we walked in the door last night. We took him on a hike this morning - ahhhhhh, back to hiking in our favorite spots, breathing in the dry Colorado air.
Our trip was perfect. We were totally spoiled by the in-laws and got to see the in-law clan, food everywhere was excellent, and the sights were stunning.
Here is where we stayed for two nights in Maine:
This was one of the views from our room:
It doesn't get much prettier than that!
Serene architecture at Popham Beach:
Fort Popham (You can read about its history if you click on its name. I'm not much of one for caring too much about fort stories):
The water in the area was full of buoys marking the location of lobster traps. Here is a man setting his traps (she writes as the B52s' song, Rock Lobster, tramples through her head):
I took the two photos above as we toured the harbor on a little harbor cruise. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see much wildlife -just some cormorants and a nest with some ospreys in it. The captain asked for two of the strongest passengers to help with things, so here is a photo of me and my mother-in-law as we helped fight the mighty seas:
