She's abandoned her nest ...

... or she's finished it and her work is done.We found her, quite far down the pomegranate tree, on a stingy little web, no good for catching anything. I think this one is just for sitting in.She's thinner, emaciated, wasting away. Her abdomen is reminiscent of one of those super skinny models they keep sending down the catwalk, with their swimsuits hanging off them. Esmerelda is on the way out, she's dying.I think I can see eggs in the nest.
And, snapping these last pictures, I discovered her silvery-grey body (scroll down, she's beautiful) is actually covered with the finest grey fur, it's a pussy willow bud.I have to stop now, my eyes are leaking.
