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!

The amazing weight of water...and still this web holds! Great photo!
Stunning pics, and I love those rocks as well.
Thanks for leaving a comment; it's good to keep up with blogging friends and I am remiss at having stayed away.
Enjoy your camera. A
yes,
I want to see the reflection of the camera in the dewdrop!
Great shots. Something about the dew this time of year seems to hold onto the silk.
breathtaking
