Spider webs fascinate me. Wet spider webs with rain droplets thrill me. I can spend an inordinate amount of time fighting with my lens trying to get focused on the thin thread of a spider's web.

Worth the inordinate amount of time, ann. So very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mich! I enjoy playing trying to capture them. They are so very delicate.
Deletei love the droplets on the web...one of my favorite things to photograph. beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin!
DeleteYou haven't been reading Annie Dillard, have you? She kept a spider (didn't kill it) in a corner of her bathroom when she lived at Tinker Creek, keeping notes on the meals it consumed....
ReplyDeleteNo, not at the present moment, Jim! I'm not that nice--I'd attempt to kill the spider if it was in my bathroom!
DeleteI love photos of dewy spiderwebs. You got some great ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda!
DeleteSpider webs are fascinating and you got some wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan!
DeleteThese are beautiful! Definitely worth the time you spent fighting with your lens!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jill!
DeleteI love the way you captured the shape of the spider web through the rain droplets, Annie! They glisten like miniature star constellations. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Arnoldo!
DeleteIt is gorgeous, you did a great job. like strings of pearls out in the woods.

Thanks, Dawn! They do remind me of strings of pearls!
DeleteOh I love the spiders web too. I have even sprayed one with water to photograph it! Gorgeous gorgeous microscopic!
ReplyDeleteMIriam, what a smart idea! I never thought of doing that! Next time I see a dry spider web, I might have to try that!
DeleteI love spider webs, too, and the only way I've ever gotten decent photos of one was when it had dew or rain on it. These are lovely!
ReplyDelete!!! Now I am wondering if they HAVE to be wet in order for the camera to "see" them. Hmmm...I might have to do a little experimenting!
Deletethe web looks like the most delicate lace- just lovely
ReplyDeleteThank you!
