Noticed this spider's web just as I was leaving my house. The sunlight was hitting it in such a way that only half-of it was readily visible and the spider silk was bending the light to give it a rainbow effect just on the strands of webbing.

It was a matter of luck and timing as any earlier or later, the light would not have bounced off it in the right way to cause this effect.

I took Jimmy for a walk at his favorite trails for the first time since his surgery. It's been unusually warm for this time of year the last week or so. We're enjoying every minute of it :)

Another image of these droplets on a spiders web after some overnight rain.

A shot taken of dew water bubbles/drops on a cobweb on a farm in Cury, Cornwall. Shot taken in the early morning sun to capture the different light and reflections on the bubbles.

Taken using my Sigma 105mm Macro Lens to capture the amazing detail.

As you see, the web is above the gutter level of the roof, which is about twenty-five to thirty feet. Must've been good insect eats. The berries are sterile, or, at least, none of our trees have produced offspring in past few years.

The mother nursery web spider carries an egg sack until the baby spiders hatch, then she deposits the ball into a nursery web or tent and guards the little ones. Since the female spider may eat the male after mating, he often gives her a 'gift' of a fly to satisfy her hunger. On occasion he may give her a fake gift wrapped in silk. If she detects the fake she ends mating.

A collection of no value to a spider, methinks

This spider was making a web when I found it, I shot this at 300mm and used my flash on the camera. The lighter spot was a leaf reflecting light, I tried to align it up with the spider and the shadows went dark, image was cropped.
