Yesterday was the first in a long time I’ve given myself permission to go for a walk instead of starting work straight away. Not a particularly long walk – and I did take my camera – but enough to feel invigorated (probably by the cold) and humming with plans and ideas.
The trees were full of spiderwebs, hung with tiny beads of moisture and the morning light produced unexpected colours as a backdrop.
Truly a random moment of delight.

Spider webs are so pretty. I wish I had nice feelings about spiders. 🙂

I wonder why spiders inspire fear in so many people? I’m not overly fond of them, but neither am I actually afraid. Mice on the other hand …

I’ve been surprised by spiders one too many times. I wish they didn’t bother me so.

I guess I live in a very “safe” part of the world as far as spiders are concerned. Don’t know if I’d be so blase if I lived in Australia!

Stunning images. I am such a fan of spider webs, as an observer…not one to walk into them. Next month usually brings out the big kahuna spiders that spin by night and take down by dawn. I’ve run into a few of those walking Zak or running….and then comes the spider dance. However, you and your camera caught jewels, indeed ~

Thank you so much. “Big kahuna” in the pop culture sense, or are there spiders called kahuna (excuse my ignorance). I love the phrase spider dance — my son’s phobia is slugs and we have experienced him doing the slug dance on many occasions. Hilarious (unless you’re him). 🙂

Those photos are superb. Spider webs are hard to capture too!

Thank you; I was fortunate to be out early enough that the webs were undisturbed and still heavy with dew.

Love spider webs and you’ve captured them beautifully! I must have tiny spiders around here because I find tiny webs lighter than a strand of hair! 😀

Thank you Linda. I’ve been looking at spider webs a lot more closely recently and am really appreciating how beautiful they are 🙂

Great shots, I have a love/hate relationship with spiders. Love to see them do their magic out in the world.. Not too much sneaking up on me inside the house.
