Why did this tiny spider build a web with this pattern? Very small (about 1cm across) and horizontal.
The web was strung between two wheelie bins and the other bins completed the background colours. I liked the bokeh in this shot.
Walking with Wiki in the morning field today - she found this wee web, about 1.5 inches wide (38.100 cm). All of it is below. Both much nicer seen large, thanks.

Colorful rhythms in the breeze
Web strands shot during wind movement and under bright conditions provide an optical spectrum feast, due to waves of light being scattered by the silk - diffraction - speed of the shutter, and quantity of softness from a softly focused lens, i.e. not focused sharply on the web threads at any given moment.
Much of what I capture is by trial and error and a good deal of luck, not judgement, as I react spontaneously to these intriguing opportunities. The light however, has to be right.
