Spider Webs.

I don't seem to be able to walk past a spider's web without photographing it! They are all so different and so amazingly constructed. This one above has a "leaf Curl" spider in the top section of the web, and was photographed in the bush with the sun shining through the web.

This one is on my letter box, filling in the space that the newspapers would normally be put in.As we don't get home delivery of the papers, the spider can hope for prey to fly or crawl into the web.

                                             Another web in the bush with the sun behind it.

            This one is low down in the grass and looks like the classic spider's web that a child might draw.

Either something flew into this web but managed to escape, or the spider had an off day with her spinning!
 

New Prints.

 After a number of weeks of not being able to print any images,  I have at last 2 new prints hot off the press, well gelatin plate anyway

The weed that I chose to use in the print above did not print very well, the leaves were too thickly clumped together and although the shapes of the stems were good, the overall print did not really work well.

This one is much better, although the leaves of this weed were so fine and brittle that they broke off and stuck to the gelatin, so I had to remove the worst of them with tweezers. I then threw out all the rest of the sprigs, which I may regret!
