Autumn Dew

I’s raining. Not much sun these days, so when it doesn’t rain – we go out. Totti is not much of a man for wet weather…open the door, he sticks his pretty little nose out, turns around and snuggles up in his bed. ”I can wait…”

Whe we do go out, the air is dewy soft and trees and grasses are all in pearls. In the forest, there is a dim light between the trees.

In the open, there are many different spiders and many different webs – depending on where they live and what they want to catch.

Maybe the wheel spiders are the ones we love the best – or at least those are the ones we firs recognize.

Everywhere on everything growing, you will find them. Pearls, necklaces, ethereal. When the sun shines through, they are almost lost to the eye…

…especially in the grass on the ground. But now – they are visible, beautifully intricate. And many!

From a different angle we can see how thickly woven and how close (3-4 cm ) to the ground. It must be quite impossible for a moth or a fly to get detangled from this…

On our way back, the sun finally came out and the misty dew lifted – no more spider’s web to be seen! Instead the few autumn colours shone – the spindle-tree being one of my favourites.

And back home again – my last garden flowers this year. Glorious in the sun.

  1. Those dewdrops in the spider web are magnificent, Ann Christine, but so are the colours of the fall you have captured in a really masterful way. Really feels like autumn, doesn’ t it… 🙂

    • Great! But don’t you have warm spots outdoors yet? Soon they will come though. I don’t like spiders really – at all…but these small ones out in nature are OK, and I love their weaving skills.

      • There are warm spots. Interestingly at this time of the year we seem to get lots of spiders indoors. Their webs aren’t as attractive as the ones outdoors. 😉

      • He, he…I can see that. you know, when I once had a penfriend in NZ she told me you had almost nothing poisonous in your country – no snakes and no spiders. That was interesting and good to hear. But, when we went there I read you have one spider poisonous – is that correct?

  2. Gorgeous photographs, the first showed me what a treat I was in for. You really know how to capture the allure of light and close-ups of natures’ surprises.
