This time of year there are spider webs all over the garden. The ones I like the least are the ones that I break with my face when I go up to the chickens first thing in the morning. Not a pleasant feeling.
With the morning dew on the webs that are on the planting there is a sort of halloween look to the garden first thing in the morning.
The rosemary bush looks dressed for halloween
A slightly closer look
The sedum has a similar treatment
I love the contrast between the vibrant colour of the sedum and the layer of web. I am not a great fan of spiders but I accept their place in the garden and the fact that they eat flies has to be a good thing. I do, though, admire their webs although I would just prefer not to break them with my face first thing in the morning. It’s definitely that time of year again!

I feel the same, you walk through a web, and half expect a spider to be in your hair.
That really creeps me out. Even worse is that sometimes there are small slugs hanging from webs from our arches. Yuk!!
Oh, it’s so lush and gorgeous. I love it.
I guess it does have it’s own strange beauty.
I wear a hat most of the time now as I constantly get the feeling of spiders in my hair, it’s probably webs.
Nearly walked straight into a big spider sat in the middle of its web yesterday, should have got a pic!
I hate the feeling of webs in my face and hair but tell myself it’s just webs not spiders or I would freak out. Sometimes I nearly walk into a spider hanging there but notice in time. I hate the thought of that! I keep my eyes peeled.
