Strings of Diamonds

Yesterday morning we were up early and the morning was particularly foggy. Looking out of our back window, the Orb Weaver spiders webs looked like strings of diamonds.

We have one Orb Weaver still standing. Not sure where 7 of 8 has disappeared to, but her egg sac is still with us *sniffs*

We know that their days are numbered, but we have their spiderlings to look forward to in the spring.

With the warmer weather returning for a few days the Orb Weavers are out and about doing their stuff. This picture was taken at Mum and Dad's the other night.

I love the macro features on my Canon G9 ...

I was quite excited this morning to see the following fabric swatch sitting in my inbox ... almost like the universe was speaking to me!

I might grab a few metres as I fear that this one might go quickly!
