woke up early a few weeks back and couldn't get back to sleep, so I took a walk outside with Ellie, my collie and i spotted all of these cool webs. Went back inside and grabbed the camera.

Took a break for a while, hope to catch up on everyone's photos in the next day or two.

Thanks viSHal for correctly identifying.

photo taken at Canaan Valley, WV. It was cropped quite a bit. : )
i love the crest of the Cedar Waxwing.

also known as cattails. hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

Native American tribes used cattail down to line moccasins and papoose boards. An Indian name for cattail meant, “fruit for papoose’s bed”. They also harvested cattails for hemp. They also wove cattail leaves into waterproof mats for the sides of their lodges, and sleeping mats on their travels. Some Indians made jelly from the rootstocks and they can be used for marmalade. The pollen, which is very abundant and rich in vitamins and minerals, was harvested and used in bread by American Indians.
