The morning dew shows a spider's work

Spider webs like this are numerous in the morning. 

Our walk on this Monday morning took us up to the east end of the paved road to look at our passion fruit crop.  On the way I saw a spider web in a field which was hanging heavy with dew.  The dew soaks everything at that early hour of the morning.   I managed to get  a good photo of the web and got all wet in the process.  We continued on from there up to the culvert where the passion fruit has been growing all summer.   It is very important to check it every day as it will become ripe quickly.  When it is ripe any animal that can reach it will take it away.  I managed to get a good look at quite a few of the fruits this morning although they are scattered in a field of unidentified vines that may be itchy.   I will only go out in that area when I am covered completely to prevent an itchy reaction.

Three Passion fruits almost ready.  

 I got a good photo of the fruit while the dog sniffed in the high grass for some type of musky smelling animal that even I could smell.  We headed on toward the house as we went I noticed the pecan tree leaves are starting to fall.  They will usually fall once in the late summer due to a fungus that affects the leaves.  The trees will grow a new flush of leaves which will fall again when the frosts and freezes start later this year.   I hope you have a great day today.  Thanks for reading my blog.  Bye.
