AN AMAZING WEB SIGHT

 Yesterday evening, I witnessed a wonderful sight ... 
Walking the dog in the evening sun, up the road which you can see in the photo below ...
I noticed that every single fence post top was covered in fine cobwebs
but what was even more spectacular, was that all the pasture land and I mean all of it, seemed to be draped with a fine gossamer sheen of webs, that in the evening sunlight, just reflected back the lowering suns rays, as one might witness looking across a verdant sea.
The whole field was just dancing with shimmering, silken strands surrounding the sheep.

Sadly despite many attempts, the camera just could not capture all the webs that covered every foot of grass across the whole pasture. Looking closely there must have been millions of tiny young spiders creating this silken scene. It was just absolutely magical!
