I've taken a few photographs of spiders' webs over the years. Usually they have featured droplets of water. Today's web picked up water from a mist that descended in the evening and continued overnight. Then, as the temperature dropped below freezing as daylight appeared, the water became ice. We spotted it as we walked past the yew hedge that supported it. As I processed this shot I wondered if the spider wasn't being a touch optimistic. Surely flies are few and far between at this time of year, in these weather conditions, and anyway would be careful to avoid such a highly visible web.
