Diamonds in the world of dreams

With Autumn morning comes the mist; pale grey swirls of dampness, settling into hollows, making the ordinary seem strange and eerie; a muted world of dreams and mystery.

And within the world of dreams are diamonds; woven strings of diamonds, delicate tracery draped in intricate patterns, intertwined and interlinked - Crystalline!






And amongst her woven diamonds, lurks the predator!



Dew laden and deadly,
The attercob's web in the early light.
                                                             (Sacristan)

(ATTERCOB, a spider ; from ATER, blood, and COB, a tyrant. Attercob is also used for a cobweb:
some interpret it the poisonous tyrant, from ATER, virus.)

If you still have the strength, weave your way over to Jenny's to see what other D posts are lying in wait!

    The huge spider is not my cup of tea. I do love seeing the beautiful weavings he does.

    I don't mind spiders as long as they don't spin a web where I am walking. I love your photos!

    Loved the spider web pictures.

    The spider picture made me want to fumigate my house, though...cuz, yea...I am a spider wuss!

    What a fun and different link to Alphabe-Thursday!

    Loved how to wove a tangled web and didn't deceive us at all.

    Thanks for linking.

    A+
