what the dew can do

A cool damp morning as the mist is chased by the sun, tiny insect webs are revealed.

The other morning on our walk, I noticed a strange white in the red-brown bushes in the meadow by Agimak Creek.
On closer inspection, I found dewy webs that looked like hammocks.
It was amazing to see all the shades of red, orange and brown that would soon be hidden by new green leaves.

Wet web

Another web to share from the other morning.  The morning mist, carried by the gentle move of air, gradually built up as droplets on the web’s strands.  Every so gently, droplets combined increasing in size.

The silvery globes invert a reflection of the misty shoreline.

Gradually, the mist thins enough to reveal the orange of the maples in the background.

Wet Web

Most webs this particular morning had the usual amount of dew. This one for some reason had huge droplets. It is suspended from the Beaver wing where the flap and aileron meet.
