Captured By Beauty; Photos by Amy
There is nothing quite like a walk in the garden when the fog is just beginning to lift and the dew is on the spiderwebs. It is especially nice if you have an eye for the beauty of nature like Amy does. This is not a view of the Stonewall Garden that has been seen until now. WOW!
Tiny droplets of dew on the bud and backside of this fragrant gladiola , Acidanthera bicolor, with Ed's stonewall in the background, make a stunningly gorgeous picture. The only thing missing is the heavenly fragrance that floats on the slightest breeze.
The Snapdragons may have gone to seed, the Butterfly Bush's blooms may be winding down and the Edward's Fritillary butterfly may be slightly tattered, but beauty remains!
Small white cupped spider webs and bright red asparagus berries make a beautifully festive picture. When the dew dries the webs will still be there, but invisible. Their beauty will be hidden to those who walk along the garden path.
Back in the wild part of the garden, the little spider webs are too numerous to count. I wonder what kind of spider weaves these beautiful little nests.
One tiny green and lavender bud remains on this sharp prickly thistle. I can't decide which is more beautiful, the tiny little bit of color or the piercing texture of the rest of the plant. It doesn't matter because Amy's photo captures both!

Dew Spider Webs Add Beauty To The Garden
This spider web on the coral bells is one of those interesting ones with a tubular hole in the center. I don't see a spider lurking in there, but if I were a spider and could build a web like this, that is exactly where I would hang out!
The spider web on the Rose of Sharon looks all relaxed and curvy. I have to wonder if when the dew dries this one will tighten up. Perhaps some spiders are more laid back than others! Without the dew droplets these small webs are nearly impossible to see!
The Summer sweet bush holds a small rather chaotic looking web. Perhaps it met with an accident after it was spun or maybe not all spiders follow the plans exactly. I still like the way the dew drops look on this one!
Next to a single Clara Curtis chrysanthemum flower is a classic spider web. This spider might be small and brown, but she is a talented spinner. If I were a spider, I would be tickled pink if I made a web like this one! These are only a small sampling of the spiders' traps that lie waiting for bugs in the garden. I for one wish them good hunting.
