Making the most of the sunshine!

Yes what beautiful days we had on the weekend . Ideal for the Avon Descent boat race in Toodyay. You'd think we'd be there to take many photos but after 18 years we decided to clean up the winter growth etc. on our little property. Everything looks so green and luscious almost a temptation for me to consider retiring there...but...maybe ,,,,well who knows what the future holds.
The magnificent early morning mists couldn't be missed and up and out I was taking early morning photos. Amazing what is going on while we sleep.
Spiderwebs everywhere and if the sun shine is caught at the right angle amazing photographs are possible.
The sizes of the spiderwebs vary from small to extremely large. However no matter how many I looked at and surveyed none had successfully trapped any insects suitable for a spider's breakfast. I wondered how long a spider would have to wait? Then again I couldn't find a spider either...perhaps spiders sleep during the day having been up all night creating?
 I must say the spider creativity doesn't limit itself to creating simple webs. Here the morning dew is trapped to create an amazing crystal-like pattern. And even the olive tree has been considered.

 But owning a property in the country isn't all 'beer and skittles' as some say. Winter awaits its annual clean up before the time runs out...and the winter rains return.
