The first ray of dawn light penetrates the forest to illuminate a spider web covered in dew. Note the star the spider has woven into the web at the top.

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
Two funnel-web spiders, possibly Labyrinth spiders (Agelena labyrinthica)
Agelena is a genus of agelenid spiders that trap their prey by weaving entangling non-sticky funnel webs. The genus is limited to the Old world, where it occurs from Africa to Japan. (Wikipedia)

The web was strung between two wheelie bins and the other bins completed the background colours. I liked the bokeh in this shot.
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.
