The Intricacy Of A Cobweb

The Intricacy Of A Cobweb

This week is the first week I’ve been out walking since twisting my ankle a couple of weeks ago. I usually enjoy a morning run several times a week, but as I won’t be running until the New Year (at least), I’ve taken the opportunity to get out walking with my camera in hand.

I try to resist the urge to snap everything and anything but sometimes can’t help myself (thank goodness for digital cameras!).

The nights have been cold, but the days are still warm and sunny, making for dewy mornings. On one morning walk this week I spotted what looked like a whole village of dewy cobwebs strung between blades of dewy grass. Of course, I took several pictures, trying to get a shot of the whole ‘village’ of spiders webs, but my trusty Nikon point and shoot wasn’t really up to the task (one day I would love to be the owner of a ‘proper posh’ camera).

I chose this picture as my My Sunday Photo as I think the dew perfectly highlights the intricacy of a cobweb.

Have you ever stopped and really studied a cobweb?

About Debbie

Hello, I’m Debbie (also known as ChirpyDebs) and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Now the children are all grown up I’m happiest when I’m out with the dogs or hiking a trail with my camera in hand. My blog is where I like to share photographs showing the wild beauty of Zakynthos that most people don’t get to see, recipes and other seemingly random things that come to mind.

    Dew drops on cobwebs truly never seize to stop me in my tracks, grab my camera, any camera and take pictures. You are right, with a P&S or phone camera it gets a bit more difficult to get the drops in focus and not blown out, but - where would we be without a challenge, right?! Your photo's perspective is great! Claudia Willison| ImagesByCW recently posted...Cocktail compositeMy Profile

      Hi Claudia, I was lucky enough to receive my first 'proper' camera for Christmas, and intend to learn how to use it properly (now there's a challenge for the New Year!). I admit that the cobweb photo was a lucky shot, the joys of digital cameras is being able to happily click away. Thank you for stopping by and the encouragement. xx Debbie recently posted...Mount Skopos: Our New Years Day WalkMy Profile

      Hi Jen, life is so fast and busy we often don't slow down and take a good look around. Hurting my ankle has given me the opportunity to walk rather than run, giving me the chance to really take in my surroundings. Slowing down certainly has it's bonuses! Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Zakynthos: Is It Really December?My Profile

    Don't you think that sometimes an injury can be a blessing in disguise when it encourages us to slow down and enjoy our surroundings Deb? Lovely picture! I know how you feel about having a camera that's not up to the job, sometimes the loveliest things are the hardest to capture, but I love this one.

      Hi Robyn, I do indeed! Taking time to enjoy and photograph what's around me has been an enjoyable side to hurting my ankle. I was pleasantly surprised that the photo came out so well on my camera as the web was so intricate. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Zakynthos: Is It Really December?My Profile

    It's a gorgeous photo and I'm happy to hear that your ankle is on the mend. I love to see cobwebs when they're covered in frost and look more like snowflakes than webs. It's been so mild in the UK this winter that I've yet to see one. Izzie Anderton recently posted...49 Things I Did Yesterday...My Profile

    Although I don't like what resides in them, I do find cobwebs fascinating. They're so beautiful and so clever. I'm always in awe of the detailing and that no two are the same. xx #mysundayphoto

      Hi Victoria, I love those target like cobwebs that you see covered in dew early in the morning, but because they so delicate I've yet to get a good shot of one. This hammock like web was perfect as it's a denser web. Dew is like early morning diamonds and looks good on everything Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...The Intricacy Of A CobwebMy Profile

    Bad luck with the ankle. To quote Daddy Pig, I'm a bit of an expert at twisting ankles having done it so many times! Anyway, really love this image. I've tried snapping cobweb shots so many times but just can't get it right. They really are a wonder of nature #MySUndayPhoto

      Hi John, it's a bummer, but my ankle is on the mend for sure, a couple motre weeks and I'm hoping I'll forget I ever did it...Until the next time, that is. I have tried photographing cobwebs before, I love the 'normal' target like web, but they never seem to show up clearly in photos, this is the first time I've taken one I feel that's worth sharing. Thank you for popping over and commenting. xx Debbie recently posted...How To Cook Christmas Dinner In AdvanceMy Profile

    I really love looking at cobwebs covered in dew. My hubby thought I was mad when I ran outside in my pjs to snap one in our garden. But I love the angle you've taken this. It makes it much more interesting Catie: An imperfect mum recently posted...My Sunday PhotoMy Profile
