Cobwebs

On misty mornings I am always amazed at just how many cobwebs there are. Hedges are covered with hardly any space between them. Every location, natural or man made, is pressed into use as an anchor point. Most days these marvels of nature go unseen as the gossamer threads blend in with their surroundings. Here are just a few I saw around my garden one misty morning.

Two spiders working closely together or one spider with two webs?

A couple of cable ties have been used as convenient anchor points for this web.

On that morning despite the number of cobwebs there were I only saw one spider. Here the subtle colouring of even a common spider only shows when you get close to it.
