Landmark 12 (Nearby Plants and Animals)

Over the spring break, we went on an early morning hike to a nearby conservation area. When we walked through a meadow trail, we were really excited to see little spider webs all over the plants, covered in dew. We spent some time looking at them with our magnifying glasses. When we looped back along the same trail a little while later, the sun had already dried up the dew and the spider webs seemed to be invisible again. We felt really lucky to have seen them so clearly earlier in the morning.
