@navin harish: The one thing about spiders at least here they are patient... plus the cooler temperatures in the morning mean they don't move around a lot.

Gotta love spider webs and dew! It makes the most perfect combination... the spider is bonus :)

@Lorena: Yes and probably the last day for them as well until next summer as the frost has done them in since.
@Morgane: thanks Morgane
@MaryP: Thanks
@Craig: Thanks Craig it was a cool morning so the spiders were very still...

The humidity must have been high...? Great shot of the spider, but with the frost, he'll be a gonner.

@Observing: Humidity about the norm here but very cool - just a couple of degrees above the frost point, and als with the frost on the resulting couple of days the spiders have vanished.

@Earnest: Ah but Earnest your foxtail outdid my mine - the frost was not as sharp as I had hoped.
