A dewy sunny morning

When I think about it, we don't have many mornings like this, where there is heavy dew and the sun rising together! Heavy dew makes me think of October, when I notice spiders' webs galore in the grass and don't know where to put my feet. So after letting out the chickens one morning last week and noticing the beautiful orb webs, I had to rush in to get my camera.

Most of the images apart from the last two which are of Valerian, are in a patch of my lawn which we've left unmown so that the wild flowers have a chance to flower for the benefit of the butterflies and bees, and other little critters. The majority of weeds flowers are Hawkbit, Wild Carrot aka Queen Anne's Lace, and Common Knapweed. The flowers in the pictures here are mostly of Hawkbit gone to seed or not yet opened with the sun, and Wild Carrot.

I was amazed at how quickly the light changed in just the 10-15 minutes I was outside with my camera. Easy to understand why Monet was so fascinated by the same subject under different light!

Still have family here and our weather is set to be hot and sunny for the next 5 days so am going to make the most of it. Normal blogging will be resumed in about 10 days..... Take care all!
