Saturday Snapshot


A foggy late summer morning.
August 2008

We had walked by this field a number of times without noticing all the spiderwebs. It was only after a heavy dew settled on them that they suddenly became visible.

Incredible how they can weave such fine details!

Oh, my, what talent! And I'm not just talking about the spiders with their web creations...LOL.

You have a knack for capturing those moments in nature.

I'm astonished by the beauty in nature all the time, and seeing it photographed...wonderful!

Here's mine:

look at them all!

Ah, pretty and creepy all at the same time! :)

That is beautiful! I keep trying to photograph the spider webs and they never come out right. Now I know the trick... the right dewpoint.

Bev Hankins said...

Oooh! Great picture. Love the spider webs...spiders not so much...but their handiwork is quite lovely when caught by a good photographer!

bookquoter - they are amazing little creatures, aren't they?

laurel - thanks, yes so much in nature goes by unnoticed that I like to see if I can 'frame' some of it whenever I can.

jl jackson - webs are beautiful feats of engineering. Even all their little flaws give them character making for great photography subjects.

food for thought - yes, I was amazed just how many there were in that field. It was like a spider city.

alyce - lol yes creepy too! Nothing makes me more jumpy than the thought of walking through spider webs.

leslie - the dew certainly helps. I never thought of it either until this happy discovery one morning in August.

bev - thanks, webs are such wispy things they don't always cooperate for the camera. This one did, though.
