Boonville, Day 10


Photo by cmccartney

I'm a third of the way through my time here in Boonville, Missouri. So much has happened over the last 10 days. I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'm kinda taking it easy now, going through all my notes, figuring out what to focus on, etc.

There are a number of things that have sparked my interest since being here. Some of them are a bit weird. Spider webs and bugs are among them. Spider webs are probably not thought of as an important part of life in Boonville. I would have to disagree, they are everywhere. Three days after I got here one appeared on my bike rack. Today I ran into one while on the sidewalk; It was connected from the street sign to the lamp post. Since getting here I've seen more webs then I have people. Seriously.

So what did I do today? I photographed bugs for 4 hours. A new one for me and my 4x5. Not the most fun in 100 degree weather though.

Tim-- this is great stuff... I'm amazed at the scope. It's like a curated tour (just like Have you Seen My Dynamite, I might add)

HAHA. Actually, I read somewhere (The Conservationist maybe?) that at any time in Missouri you are never more than 10 feet away from a brown recluse. I hope you love Missouri as much as I do.
