Now You See Me

It's amazing what you can see in the mist.

On a normal morning, I can look out of the kitchen window and hardly see a spider web. When the mist descends, the effect is truly spectacular.  Dozens, (and I do mean dozens) of spider webs pop into existence.  The gazebo, the hedge, the swings,  any surface where the spiders can attach themselves.  The moisture in the air clings to the delicate threads and brings them into sharp focus.

Of course with lots of spider webs, there are lots of spiders.  Not surprisingly, most of them are the common garden spider.

This one spun a web that went from the edge of the house to the fence - easily six feet.

Apologies for the delay with this post as well.  I've just upgraded my computer so it's taken a little longer than anticipated to get everything back on (the joy of upgrading to a 64-bit system from a 32).
