My neck and shoulders ache, though I do not know why. I also think that the technology in this house is going to trigger at least two mental breakdowns - Dad and me. I am certain that at least half of my posts complain about technology. I want to live in the days of typewriters and rotary phones and developing one's own film. When lives did not revolve around LCD screens.
Did you know that theoretically immortal jellyfish, like their name suggests, can live forever by the process of reversing the biotic lifecycle, meaning that it goes back to being a polyp? Of course, in practice, most are killed by disease or predation, but they are the only known animal with the ability to completely return to their juvenile state, so, in lab conditions, they can live forever. Just one of the many reasons why jellyfish terrify me.
Taken at Beamish, North of England Open Air Museum. At f5.6 not sure I've got sufficient depth of field, a problem sometimes with macro shots.
On our first day after reaching to Öland, Sweden, we had lots of fog in the morning that lasted till noon. There were cobwebs visible from the tiny waterdrops hanging on them.

Sunset, also known as sundown, is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon due to Earth's rotation. As viewed from the Equator, the equinox Sun sets exactly due west in both Spring and Autumn. As viewed from the middle latitudes, the local summer Sun sets to the northwest for the Northern Hemisphere, but to the southwest for the Southern Hemisphere.
The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon. Near the horizon, atmospheric refraction causes sunlight rays to be distorted to such an extent that geometrically the solar disk is already about one diameter below the horizon when a sunset is observed.
Sunset is distinct from twilight, which is divided into three stages, the first being civil twilight, which begins once the Sun has disappeared below the horizon, and continues until it descends to 6 degrees below the horizon; the second phase is nautical twilight, between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon; and the third is astronomical twilight, which is the period when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. Dusk is at the very end of astronomical twilight, and is the darkest moment of twilight just before night. Night occurs when the Sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon and no longer illuminates the sky.
It's been a very misty damp day today. Perfect for raindrops on spider webs, even if there was no sunshine around. Can you spot the spider? I'm pretty pleased with my manual focussing!
There's a spider in there somewhere!
Cobwebs filled with droplets of dew create a strange alien landscape... and a home for this tiny upside-down spider.
On a misty morning in woodland on Stedham Common.
Best viewed LARGE.
It is a sign of autumn when you see cobwebs around the garden in the early sunshine. The spiders were busy this week.
Wondering
The bejewelled webs on this gate caught my eye. Then I noticed the gap in the bar. Then, I wondered if the webs might be holding the gate together.
Then, I took the photo – simply because I liked the scene.
P105-5261 Taken at: Branton, Northumerland, England
This little spider lives in our garage. In the foreground is a cobweb; an old web she no longer uses. In the background is her current web being used to trap insects.
This photo is a composite of 8 files.
With the very misty day today i thought it would be a perfect opportunity to get some good misty shots of the Bestwood Colliery near me (see more at www.ukminingremains.co.uk/#/bestwood-colliery/4545305785) Unfortunately it wasnt quite working out like that and as it was closed I couldnt even fit the camera through the railings! So the best I could do was an improvised shot through a cobweb (as you do!). The colliery is in the background! Taken with the Sigma 10-20mm.
