While working on the bathroom remodel today, I got scratched and bruised, so the by the end of the day I looked like a caveman. Laurie wanted to do a photo of me to show my scraggly look with scratches and dried blood on my cheek. The kitties come in at times with scratched up faces, but I don’t think they’ve been out fighting with bathroom cabinets. The second photo is the what the bathroom looks like after fighting with it all day. I may not look like it or feel like it, but I think I won the battle.
The leaves are turning yellow, and the last two photos are of the Zipper Spider multitasking. She is eating the wasp she had wrapped up and hanging in her web yesterday while spinning new silk to repair her web.
Off Center & Not Even 
Your bathroom looks absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your are quite an authority now on zipper spiders. I had never heard of them before I learned about them from you. (Perhaps it just never soaked in before.)
Thanks, Lois. I’ve been posting photos of zipper spiders for a couple of years now, but this is the first year I’m getting really up close and personal with one.
The bathroom looks great!
Are the leaves turning a little earlier this year because of the drought? Or is time flying by so quickly it just seems earlier?
I think the leaves are turning on time. It’s almost October, and not a whole lot of yellow yet.
This year is sure flying by, it seems!
Congratulations on finishing your new bathroom – it looks great! I like your nature photos very much. Thanks for sharing, Tim.
Thanks Juanita. Unfortunately, the bathroom is hardly finished. I still have trim, ceiling and lights to redo.
Ugh, the spiders. I am trying to avoid your insect pictures. Really cool, but . . . I am not a bug person. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.
You will find lots of insects of various varieties on my blog.
Yes, I noticed!!!
