Just happened to see these great spiderwebs glistening with the morning dew on this fence while I was shooting this sunrise!
HFF everyone and hope you have a great weekend and remember to say thanks to a Veteran today! (Thanks Dad!)

Happy "Looking close... on Friday!" with ""spider and/or spider web"".
... and thank you so much for your views, faves and comments! :-)
Yesterday morning I noticed this smallish web in the garden. I set up the camera above the web, and placed the flash below. The resulting colors were a surprise - it looked like diffraction of some kind was going on. On the web (haha) I found that "The thin linear threads of spider webs occasionally act as optical slits, decomposing white light by diffraction. The resulting colors aren't as pure as those of refraction phenomena, as in a rainbow or in an ice halo....The diameter of the minute water droplets composing mid-level clouds is similar to the diameter of spider web threads -- a few microns or even less." epod.usra.edu/blog/2005/01/spider-web-diffraction.html
This web belongs (belonged) to a Spiny Orb Weaver spider. I say belonged because after a couple of weeks I finally reached a day where I forgot to duck and that was the end of that one! Happy to say she did rebuild ... and she IS in the middle in the shot, the camera just didn't want to focus on her. :)
This was one of those mornings where we saw lots of these tiny webs in the field - they're colorfully quite spectacular in the morning sun -

One of my all time favourite shots, so i thought it might look good at the top og the photostream for a while!
Another shot from a misty sunrise in the dunes at Cleethorpes back in October.

The spider seems to have woven a new web outside our kitchen window. The double-paned window had been cleaned inside, but not outside. (The blurry dark vertical lines are the balusters supporting the railing around the deck.)
At the moment that I snapped this, the wind was causing the web to dance vigorously. When I looked at the image on the computer, I was surprised that the filaments had as much definition as they do.
