Last days of summer

This year's Autumn Equinox is on the 23rd September. (To be a perfect blip it would be the 22nd, but perfection is difficult to achieve.)

I love the way the last rays of the late summer sun catch the spider web, blocking the path to the garden.

"A spider's web blocks all mine avenue;
He catches down and foolish painted flies
That spider wary and wise.
Each morn it hangs a rainbow strung with dew
Betwixt boughs green with sap,
So fair, few creatures guess it is a trap:
I will not mar the web,
Though sad I am to see the small lives ebb"

Christina Rossetti
