Weaving webs.....

Last week after several days rain I was rambling up on Dartmoor with my camera and found hundreds of webs strung across the gorse bushes - glistening with dew jewels!

Some were as large as 18 inches wide and how far the nest penetrated into the gorse I could only guess - the spider just disappeared down the tunnel at high speed when the camera came out!

I was fascinated both by the beauty and the strength of the structures - some of these dewdrops were quite large!

I am still getting to know my new camera (Canon G11) so these were taken on auto - once I get to grip with where all the manual controls are I will be experimenting - meantime I am very happy with the image quality!

'we are all acorns'

I want to say a big thank you to Cathy Cullis - I won her print giveaway 'we are all acorns' - my name was pulled out of the hat and this is the lovely surprise I received in the post a few days ago.

I am going to get it framed and it will hang in my studio with the collage I won last year in Leslie Avon Miller's (aka Textures, shapes, colour) giveaway - aren't I lucky!
