Arachne's Handiwork

We are captivated by Greek mythology around here.  I like the story of Arachne...a conceited weaver who bragged she was better than Athena (big mistake Arachne--you don't mess with those Greek gods or goddesses!).  In a contest, Arachne indeed bested Athena which enraged her.

In the end, Athena turned Arachne into a spider.

I've been enjoying the beautiful spinning Arachne has been deftly performing this fall.  Especially when the dew creates a shimmering outline.

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
