    Web yes, also there are a bunch of spun webs around with amazing designs, I had one up the road which looked like a soft-angled triangle with dots lining the edges I wish I took a picture, but I'll try to get more and hopefully some big ones like a banana spider.  alot of the times it's the spiders that help a great bit around here, but everything does its part very well, even the ants. (Also the pics above, tiffs should be tuffs lol)

    imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageHere are some pictures! It was a good 4th of July but I didn't do much lol. The pond picture I mainly took for the dragonfly, when we put the pond in I wanted this like picturesque scene of a dragonfly sitting on the reeds or grass above the water and I can say it did that fantastic-ly! But to the upper left in the same picture behind the fence is oleander, and to the right of that in front of the fence is red foliated cotton, and the flowers in the pond are alligator lilies ^-^. The night blooming cereus in its 6th flowering this year. The plant with Dillon beside it is a type of cassia (cassia is a general term I use for yellow flowering weeds/plants, tending to flower in the fall in this area) it's about 7-8 foot tall now and has grown that tall in one year with, I'm supposing, very little nutrients, but I have been tending the cotton around it so it probably helps it. Some mushrooms on a stump, they kinda look like oysters! And the last is a beetle I found at work that kept trying to lay on its back :/ and it sounded like a puppy when it sleeps and is having a dream lol, little woofs haha.  But I put it outside cause I found it inside and it started moving more, so hopefully it lives.  (tip) when you find a bug inside about 99.9% of the time it's gonna die, so putting it outside gives it an atleast 50% chance of survival and reproducing and that may not seem that great but when it's beetles and bugs your rarely see or even spiders and you save them believe it or not it helps that species just that much more!

    imageimageThis is the century plant again but I wanted to get it flowering in the sun lol. Also the "hip bones poem" is actually lyrics to a song I like by Oliver Francis who I got into because of a band named  'treebeard' and 'glory days'(missouri) I think (American bands)

    I've been around the world
    I've seen a million things
    I've fought in countless wars
    And dined with many kings.

    I've seen the northern lights
    I've counted all the stars
    Been in 'n' out of Saturn's rings
    And started life on Mars.

    I'm fluent in every language
    I've tasted each cuisine
    I've stayed in every palace
    And lived what people dream.

    I was there when it began
    And I know when it will end
    My only enemy is man.
    Yet you are still my dearest friend.

    I invented evolution
    I gave you your first breath

    I was there at your conception
    And I'll be there at the time of death.

    "Marcus Pete Robert Welfare" 

    (this is a poem by a kid who worked on a video game I play who worked at lion head studios or on the Fable game itself, or both, but he died. and I'm not sure if my brother who died put the picture in poem or my boyfriend but it was a nice touch.)
