Sorry, little garden spiders, but your orb webs are so beautiful!

I try to only do this once in a while, when the spiders are building and the sun is shining at just the right angle.

I move around to optimize the sunlight and the background.

It is hard to focus on the web, let alone one little part of it.

So I often crop the photos way down to just one part.

Or not…

Fake dew. Take that, Mother Nature!

I am still trying to figure out how to get some images with my digital microscope of these, but… uh…

There were actually two webs in good positions this morning.

One I could line up with the blue San Diego sky. The other with our Mimosa tree.

Tiny droplets…oh yeah!

That web is a little messy in the middle, but I love it when it all comes together. Thanks, spiders..
