nature's mishaps

I know you can't tell very well, because the sun is shining through this tree. But there are no leaves on this tree at all. It is covered by what my friend Frances calls worm webs. I am serious, it is covered every branch on the tree. I have never seen anything like it.

And I just thought that maybe some one out there has seen it before and can tell me why the worms chose this one tree to be on.

Thanks and God bless.
