Somethin'z Awry.....in the orchard....

Family "reunion" on a small scale out in Kennett Square, Pa. Every year some of us gather in Barnard's Orchards for some apple picking. This was the first year I went along.
Clear crisp Autumn day, with the scent of fresh apples in the breeze. But... upon closer inspection.... I became aware of the "things" that keep the eco system "in check" . I began focusing more on that aspect.....
Don't be alarmed when you click on the photo above for the original size and see this spider in stunning detail. Who would have thought such a small thing had the makings of some nightmare's specter... this little creepy thing with it's bug eyes, and furry hair covered legs. Yes, these are the little things that are part of the check and balance aspect of that eco system.
But this is only one apple's story ....
Just remember......
