Went to Niagara Falls today to check on the Peregrine falcon nest in the gorge so while mama Diamond was shielding her two little girls from the sun, I aimed my lens towards the water

I was up and outside rather early this morning and with the humid weather and cooler temps over night, everything was coated in a thin layer of dew. With camera in hand, what came to mind was your thread (Sage). Although I attempted many pictures to capture the dew, so far this is the only one I'm ready to share.

I did get some of the cobwebby (invented word, sorry) kind of webs in the grass...but not great shots. No orb weaver webs covered in dew, sorry. Thanks by the way...the picture is not as clear as it could be, but it was inspired by your contest.

I have some really cool dewy webs, funnel webs and others, but they are from April and therefore not for the contest. I thought I'd share one anyway. If you look closely you can see a hint of the grass spider deep in her hole.

Thanks, Dap. It is too warm for dew here at this time of the year; our lows are only in the low 70s. I have to wait for my new camera battery charger to arrive so I can go out and take more photos.
