In the deafening silence, The early morning dew has painted droplets on filigree nets. Interlacing secrets, created by silent weavers, while we slept. Each quite unique, of unparalleled beauty, transparent, yet visible, A magical transformation.
For me these filigrane nets are typical and first harbingers of autumn. I guess you won't find them in this quantity in summer. Lovely pictures, lovely post! It is always interesting to return to your blog. Barbara
Such artful weavers spider's are! Lovely photos and words. We have a lot of webs here at present as there seem to be a lot of the very destructive Tent Moths. They emerged last month from the tents they built when they were caterpillars , and now the trees are festooned with these 'huge' lanterns. Give me a spider anyday..!
Good morning, Barbara, and welcome once again. The misty moisty morning is most definitely a sign of Autumn for us. I always find it amazing to know that there are so many webs around the garden, but we rarely see them...until the dew hangs strings of little pearls along them :)
Hello, libby, and welcome to a spider's paradise :) I love the little creatures because they do me no harm and are a gardener's friend, eating many pests. Not sure I'd like to have tarantulas in my garden though, as I like the birds too much :)
Welcome to our little corner of paradise, farmingfriends. Lovely to meet you. Since many of my forebears were involved in farming, I like your name already :) Thank you for being so gracious.
Lovely to see you again, Iowa Gardening Woman. The webs are marvellous cstructures, aren't they? The wonder of nature never ceases to amaze me and gives me a happy feeling inside :)
Thank you for revisiting, Marie. These little spiders won't harm you. They beaver away helping us :) Their webs remind me of those spirograph toys my children used to have.
Hello, Ruth, and a warm welcome to you, too. I couldn't agree more. I posted some photos of frost on spider webs when I started my blog last November, because I thought they were stunning creations.
That sounds exciting, Sheila. I've not seen these tent moth constructions before...so you'll need write a post with pictures, especially for me :)
Welcome, Helen. Thanks for introducing yourself. I'm glad you like the dew on the webs.
Isn't it amazing just how many spiders there are in your garden. We've had several misty mornings this humid summer and all the webs were revealed. I think I counted more than 50 ground spiders alone and that wasn't even checking the swale we have in the back yard. Great photos.
Wind through the barley,
The song of the breeze,
Ephemeral poppies,
The tracery of trees,
Barleycorn – Magic!
A feast for the eyes.
Our little corner of paradise.
In 1990, as we were driving through a little village, I noticed a quaint old barn with a corrugated roof, and a newly-built house adjacent to it. They were standing on a large plot of land, full of pernicious weeds - a corner of a farmer's field, in fact. Then we saw the "For Sale" sign. Four months later we moved in and decided to create a garden for wildlife.

The webs are beautiful in your photos, as long as they stay there!
What lovely prose and magical photographs. Thanks for sharing.
Sara from farmingfriends
Beautiful webs! We should start seeing them here in Iowa soon.
I dod't like spiders, but the spider's web is beautiful with morning dew...
So lovely...one of the beauties of Autumn is the spiders lacy webs and they look so beautiful with frost on them to. :o)
Such artful weavers spider's are!
Lovely photos and words.
We have a lot of webs here at present as there seem to be a lot of the very destructive Tent Moths.
They emerged last month from the tents they built when they were caterpillars , and now the trees are festooned with these 'huge' lanterns. Give me a spider anyday..!
wow, I think it`s beautiful.
