Fog plus cobwebs equals magic

By Linda Burgess

On Sunday morning, I went for a walk at sunrise. The fog made the morning quite beautiful over my property.

As I walked I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful the garden spiders’ webs looked with frost on them.

I got curious and looked up how the dew and spiderwebs interact. The droplets condense on the webs, and when the sun comes out, the droplets can create prism effects.

The webs are present all the time, but usually the spider silk is so thin that we humans can’t see it. Thanks to Nature for providing these ephemeral beauties!
