It's that dewy spiders' webs time of year again

I do these every year. They make me think of much-missed GrannyJ, who was always loved a beady spider's web.

And this is the mysterious Russian woman's cosmos.

I might get around to writing a proper post one day.

Elizabeth said...: Beautiful Photos, Lucy.
You had my 11, 10 and 5 year olds saying..."WOW".
Lovely start to our day.

marja-leena said...: Oh, oh, oh, fantastic photos, no words needed, Lucy!

I've missed several opportunities to take some, (not that they would have compared to yours), like the one that was just outside the window next to where I sit at this computer. The other time was on Sunday when we had visitors from Japan who wanted to take group photos in the front garden and had to brush their way through the webs, the retired gentleman even said he disliked them.; 8:09 pm
Fire Bird said...: very nice indeed!; 8:49 pm
Julia said...: I'm particularly struck by the 3rd, makes me want to get out early with my camera sometime soon and see where our dew is falling! Frost predicted this weekend, so I better scurry.; 11:47 pm

Catalyst said...: As always, great photos! And thank you for remembering our friend, Granny J.; 12:02 am
HKatz said...: These photos are so beautiful. The last one feels timeless (as if those flowers will be preserved like that forever) and the spider webs are a delight - especially how frosty they can look, as if they're woven of snow and ice (they remind me of Fantasia, and the fairies in the Nutcracker Suite, dancing on things and turning them into ice or spreading dew drops on spider webs).; 6:23 am
The Joined up Cook said...: I do love perusing your photos when I visit.

Very eloquent.; 10:15 am
Sheila said...: These are the sort of beautiful that makes my heart almost ache. No need to write a "proper post" if you keep sharing this kind of beauty.

Spider webs just amaze me, amaze me. I listened today to an interview with the author of a book called "Beauty for Truth's Sake" that I hope to read. I wonder what he might say about spiders and their magical art.; 12:24 am
