This year, our dry Winter days usually start with crisp cool mornings and occasional frosts followed by perfect sunny days with clear blue skies. And during the short winter months the garden is an exquisitely beautiful place to visit in the early hours of the day with a steaming cup of tea in hand. On these early morning sojourns I’ve discovered hidden silent artistes working their intricate craft; gorgeously detailed spider-webs amongst the half- asleep rose bushes. The variously shaped webs are only visible while the early morning dew lingers. They form gorgeous mini vistas as the dew reveals their shapes, sparkling in the early morning sun. I couldn’t resist capturing these with my little digital camera even though I’m sure the photography is far from ideal ... but I delight in seeing these vignettes every morning and just had to share them with others who love the intricacies of the natural world.
Love the jagged intricacy outlined in dew drops...
Occasionally it’s possible to see the Secret Artisan resting after working hard all night!
And sometimes they look like they’re having fun just ‘hanging out’!
I love the colours in the background here. This web simply disappears in the full light of day!
Can’t help wondering what was going on the night before with this creation!
