Flying Fluff and Spiderwebs
On a recent bike ride up at the East Fork trail, Dave had to go back
to the car to get something he'd forgotten, leaving me guarding his pack.
It turned out that was a blessing in disguise. While I waited, looking up at the spectacular backlit sky high above the ponderosas, I saw hundreds of little fluff pieces floating by, highlighted and glowing from the sun behind them. Occasionally, I'd see long filaments drift past: I assume they were strands of spider web, perhaps with tiny baby spiders attached, invisible at that distance.
I tried to capture them on phone video, but unsurprisingly,
the video wasn't good enough to capture them, and neither were the
still photos.
