"Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave"

This image was captured early one dew-laden morning in the fall, possibly the work of a black widow spider. The title comes from an excerpt of the epic poem Marmion, by Sir Walter Scott about the Scotland-England Battle of Flodden, which came to mind inspired by the recent political climate:

"Oh! what a tangled web we weave When first we practise to deceive!"
