Suspension

On the face of it this shot is similar to my blip from yesterday. However, what caught my attention here is the structure on which the droplets are held suspended two or three inches above the ground. In the large version you can see some of the "cables" that keep this small miracle of engineering in place.

I see a lot of these tiny webs about near the ground, especially in autumn, but I've never seen the spider that makes them.

The plants are in my rockery. The red one is a succulent, the name of which I'm not certain, and the ferny one is the small native ground cover, Leptinella squalida "Platts Black."

For scale, the Leptinella leaves are approximately one inch long.
