Fascination with the web

There are things in nature that are so delicate and incredibly masterly constructed, without any plans.
Perfectly spaced tiny strings of silk at the mercy of the elements, relentlessly reconstructed over and over again as wind and passing animals seem to carelessly ignore.
The art of the spider is grossly unappreciated.

Back-lit web

As the fog lifted it left behind a delicate veil of droplets on the spiders webs.

Wet spiders

The light mist was still clinging onto the spider webs while the sun was trying to break through the clouds.
I looked across the field behind my tent and I noticed the white glow of the webs scattered in the grass.
