It is August and the Black and Yellow Garden Spiders are out.

The web was in the scrub at the steep edge of a pond, not very inviting, or safe, for the photographer to get the other side.

However, a did get a different angle of the vegetation growing on the slope for a completely different background look.

A close up of the zig-zag stabilimentum — pretty fascinating.
