A common occurrence in the woods: a banana spider on my hat.

Orb weaver spider on hat

These golden orb-weavers, genus Nephila, weave webs many feet across between trees, often at human eye height.

I left this one on a nearby bush.

Here are a few vegetables from the garden that day.

Tomatoes, yellow squash, basil, peppers: banana, atomic, serrano, jalapeño
