This Helleborine (Epipactis helliborine), coated in spider webs, is a member of the Orchid family. The individual flowers shown here are 5/16th inch (~0.8cm) across and are one of the smallest orchids. The plant is an alien in North America and is found in woodlands and along pathways in eastern Canada, NE United States and into the Great Lakes area, with local patches elsewhere. Wikipedia provides more complete information. I suggest looking at the individual flowers, especially the one at right center, in enlarged view.

Spider web on peach tree.

Unfortunately for this little guy web browsing made him the meal of the day

Overnight the spiders builsd seemingly impossible constructions, with the supporting features several metres apart

Spotted sandpiper on the shore of Lake Parsippany, New Jersey. Shot with a Sony RX10III. Processed with Photoshop and Nik software.

I'm definitely out of practise with anything Photoshop but this weeks 'I fooled you' theme in MacroMondays seemed to be a reason to shake off a few cobwebs (!) and see if I could still remember anything!!! I've posted the original in the comments, a dewdrop filled spiders web that reminded me of our solar system. I'm afraid any scale was out of the question but I think the planets are in the right order!!! HMM

PS In my head I'd turned the 'I fooled you' theme into 'trick' so this is a bit of a tenuously themed image really ~ hopefully I might have fooled one or two of you from the thumbnail into thinking it was something it wasn't!!

My son has expressed an interest in tennis, so we got him a lesson. While wandering around the court I noticed this tattered spider's web in the fence gently blowing in the breeze...I was not pleased with the photo itself, but after resorting to a little processing, I like the results...

This thing was about two feet from top to bottom -- with such a huge web I was afraid to meet its creator. So I stood back a few yards and used the telephoto.

Windy and no tripod..I would of liked a better focus here.. :(

I saw a butterfly weaved in this web and considering I was visiting the ocean where I spread my fathers ashes it felt like a sign..I believe butterflies are keepers of souls.. :)

An image taken many months ago. I am uploading it today because last night this image appealed to a Judge at Camera Club. He awarded me first place in our Digital Image of the Year competition. It's my first ever win, and I'm thrilled to bits.

Thank you to my friend Bertie for thinking up the title - which made the Judge groan but he liked it!

I spotted this at the barn today and thought my lens would love it!

I added it to cliche saturday because webs seem a little cliche so - HCS!!

Iced up spider's web in the garden

My second common garden spider of the year, busily constructing a web at the edge of a garden in Abergavenny this afternoon.
