It was another splendidly foggy early morning as I made my way toward Piney Woods Church Road, but by glancing at he brighter patch of cloud hiding the Sun, I could tell that the fog would soon burn off.  I took quite a few fogscape shots before becoming entranced, yet again, by dew-covered spiderwebs.  This is my favorite of them all, one that I photographed with my zoom lens last time around.  This time, I found a cattle feed bin, stood on that in the roadway, and was able to take quite a few macro images.  There are two webs here:  an elegant orb web, and a patternless assemblage of threads.  The two are separate, yet connected.  Was there only one spider involved in this dual creation?  Looking at it, I cannot help but be reminded of diagrams out of cosmology or even science fiction; this particular photograph makes me think of parallel universes:  one highly ordered, one highly chaotic.
