Same View From a Different Perspective

This year my family started something new , which was a garden. Watching small seeds breathe life into the yard and  complete it was interesting, but I've never looked passed the outside of the garden. So far I'm finding so much I've never noticed deep inside the wonders of this garden. Seeing things come to life is beautiful but there are ugly things as well.

Last week I found an orbiter spider in my garden which was quite fascinating but a spider up close is ugly & creepy. I'm definitely not a fan of spiders but looking at its web made my mind go wild with fasination. I've never looked close at spiders cause they scare me, but I'm glad I looked. The web is so complex & beautiful, yet put together so well. Its just amazing. "The hose has left trickles of water on the strands of web which have fallen into place so interestingly... Such a hideous creature, but this creature can form a web that is so exquisite. " ( Field Notes Day 4)

Another interesting creature I've come acrossed in the garden was a snail. Very slimy & weird creature . During my observing I noticed this snail had laid eggs ! They're like grey tiny balls & are hidden in a damp dark place . so far im really anxious to see if they will hatch with the weather turning cold .

This is exactly how the eggs look but a slightly darker color. They are hidden pretty far back under the tomato plants , which fit the profile of a snail where they live in a moist hidden area.
