Surrounded by spiders
I”m a typical introvert, which means that I occasionally require a total lack of human engagement in order to recharge my batteries. On Friday I dodged the world, retreating to a bench in Kirstenbosch Gardens with snacks, my endless tapestry project, and a new copy of New York magazine. It was the perfect little secret bower, surrounded by bushes, bounded by a stream, and almost every other possible entry point was cut off from the outside world by enormous spiders and their sparkling webs. I’m no closet goth, that’s for sure, but I appreciated my spidery sentries on Friday, keeping the humans at bay until I could face them once again.

Wow they are some crazy spiders you’ve got there in Cape Town…. manic looking webs. Kirstenbosch Gardens is gorgeous. x

Well, I get you on the getting away from people thing, but huge spiders? *shudder*

We had an army of golden orb spiders like those that created a wall of spider web adjacent to the deck. Very helpful, they were keeping the flies and mozzies away. Erin and Alex even gave the biggest lady a name.

I also have a need to get away and piddle around, away from peeps, before exploding into a million tiny particles. But spiders?o No way

I’m new to your blog Heather, but absolutely loving it. Glad to know I’m not the only one who needs ‘alone time’ to recharge! The spider and web photos are beautiful.

spider girl? I also head to the botanical gardens for a time out, which reminds me, I’m in need of one of those days!
