The forecast for our area had freezing fog last night. What that means to the photographers salivating over the forecast is that in the morning, at the earliest breath of dawn, every tree and plant will be coated with an other-worldly layer of icy frosting. So I was up very early, hoping to beat the sun to some great photos. And I am pleased with the crop. Many a twig and rosehip gave me just what I was looking for. But this photo I didn’t expect. A perfectly frosted spider web.
I’ve always thought spider webs are one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. And it impresses me how God knows how to make things which are both beautiful and useful. To a spider, that web is useful — to me, it’s incredibly beautiful. Then, add a frosty morning, and look at how much more intricate and lovely the design is. Bravo, little spider. And bravo, God. I’m glad I got up early.
That’s gorgeous, Sherri!
Just the word I was going to use. I hope you can sell that one!
