Another image from an outing last week - actually we were hoping to find some Bearded reedlings (Panurus biarmicus) - when I became transfixed by these stunning structures!

I am always amazed by their stunning design and execution of these intricate web patterns! Add the dew drops and they shimmer in the light like tiny jewels. Fascinating!

Like a piece of jewelry, this is beautiful. The spider is a fine addition. Great image.
