I love the dew on the spider webs. This one caught my eye and this was the best angle I could get on it.

It can be a little alarming to look out over a meadow at morning and see all the spider webs, made visible by droplets of dew. Right now, hardly a bush nor clump of wild grass isn't crowned by the bizarre, double layered web of the Bowl-and-Doily Spider (an insect is knocked out of the air by the tangle of webs above, then falls into the bowl below, where the tiny spider is waiting). When the dew evaporates, the webs disappear -- you'd never even know they're there!

I'll confess: I used my spray bottle on this web. I was surprised that its owner decided to stay through all of the spray! Although I got some images with the spider, I still need practice at perfecting these types of images. I think this was my favorite so far.
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
