Spiderweb

Four different views of the same spiderweb.

March Spider Web

I do believe this is a first in my life--we woke up on the eve of Spring to a dewy sunrise and a field full of spiderwebs.

 It has been 80 degrees every day for the past week, with more warm weather in the forecast. The grass is green, trees are budding out, flowers are bursting into bloom, and I finally had a day off today to spend in the garden. Quite a contrast to last spring which was one of the coldest on record.

Foggy Sunrise

I took these photos a few miles from my house on my way to work this morning. I was glad I left for work a few minutes early so I could savor the beauty of the sun rising through the fog.

Woven by a Tiny Weaver

I must admit, I've become a bit fascinated by spiderwebs since moving out to the country. I wake up in the morning to meadows and woods full of many different kinds of spiderwebs, all glistening with dewdrops. It amazes me that the most perfect of all the webs are the ones that are woven by tiny spiders that are hardly bigger then pinheads. If you look very close, you can see the master weaver in the center of this web.

Better in Black and White?

It seems to me that spider webs are better photographed in black and white. What do you think?

Ropes of Pearls

Looks like fairy jewelers were busy at their craft last night...

Spider Web

Tiny, but perfect. This spiderweb is built in the seed head of rush by the river, and is less then 3 inches across.
