It was midmorning yesterday before the autumnal mist dissipated and the sun came through. A walk in the fields revealed just how many spiders must lurk in the dying vegetation because it seemed as if every surface was festooned with spider webs. Each web and fine filament carried beads of dew glistening in the light.

Magical. Up all night making arrangements for a juicy corpse to sustain us through the Winter
Not everyone’s idea of a Grand Day Out, however.

Not necessary quite yet. We still have a few tins of beans in the cupboard.
Just empathising with the arachnids.

Love these. Have tried to do similar in the past but wasn’t very successful.

I love seeing spiderwebs reveled like this. I have also thought about how many are living right under our noses, almost invisibly, until chance reminds us of their presence.

The light and the background have to be just right, don’t they?

Too many to count. Perhaps it’s best not to think too much about it – it’s a bit like knowing that microscopic mites live on the human eyelashes.

You’re so right about the light, Jessica. We had a similar spider-web day here in Ohio a few weeks ago, but I must say that you had the better light—and better spider webs.

Thank you, Linda, It would be good to see your Ohio spider web pictures – I am sure you are just being modest.

I don’t think I’m being modest, Jessica, but you can see my recent spider-web photos here: https://lindagrashoff.com/2021/10/17/a-foggy-day-in-oberlin/.

I had a look earlier today. Beautiful atmospheric shots, Linda. The dewy spider webs are great – the background colours make them stand out.
