Taken early morning, after a heavy dew :) Slight modification as the right hand side of the web had been trashed (probably by me passing through just before to check traps), but I was still happy with the result :)

Another great shot Rel, and had you notice mentioned the trashed web, I wouldn't of picked the clever use of the fliped image to complete the web.

Fantastic. Well spotted and well taken. Spiders are so amazing that they can do this kind of beauty which has a practical purpose.

Spiderwebs and morning dew are just great.

Thanks everyone :)
We've been out running around the bush again doing a survey - and got stuck in Moranbah from Sunday until today thanks to a broken down car, and a part that was in Mackay .... but at least we finished the survey before the wheel bearing decided to rear its ugly head.
if anyone is headed out that way, I can tell you the shop with the best pies, the most comfortable seat in the library, and how long it takes to walk from one end of Moranbah to the other ;) LOL
And god is it good to be home !!!! :)

Thanks Marco & Deb :)
Marco - so you'd know all about the meals at the black nugget then :) ;)
Deb - taken without flash - I had the early morning sun streaming through, didn't need the flash, so went with what I had :)
