On the water

Earlier this week I re-explored favorite places in and near the BWCA.  It's the time of year where the sun is nicely warm while the shaded areas can be chilly.  I wore my sun hat but also carried woolies, which were greatly appreciated after the sun set.

I admired a spider web cocooning a group of little ferns on a rock wall above the water.  After moving in close to take several photos, I jumped back a bit when the spider caught my eye.  Sliding the canoe back and repositioning to change angle, I focused on the spider.  When I changed my attention to a small aspen twig further along the wall, I continued to keep one eye on the giant spider, though detected no movement.
