web morning

Illuminated

This morning saw a beautiful combination of sunlight hitting wet trees and shrubs that were coated with a patina of frost. A mist curled up from the iced grass toward blue skies.

Everywhere there were spider webs, jewelled with beads of water. One long chain formed a barrier across the path – I spotted it at the last moment and ducked underneath.

Photographing cobwebs can be tricky, but I managed to snap a few of them. This was one of my favourite shots.

Oh! The artless cunning of nature.
