...in the wet dewy grass of dawn (please view large). Many thanks for your comments, #fav's and follows, particularly for my photo White on White of an egret which with your support was on the Official Top 20 list for week 95. I really value and appreciate the time you take to look and your wonderful words.

@paulaag Paspalum is an introduced species of American grass in Australia which we consider a weed. It has a fairly low protein content as feed in pastures and is highly invasive. The web is attached to seeds of paspalum which can be sticky and get carried and spread on clothes and animals. This little web was not more than an inch or two across. The broken is largely the sun reflected in dew on grass.
