   Ooh, nice capture. Having tried to photograph rain-covered gossamer myself, I know how blinkin’ hard it is to do.

      I got lucky. That’s not an attempt at false modesty. We were walking along a Northumberland dirt track, and I spotted the cobwebs, turned my camera’s auto setting to “Close Up”, waited for the sun, leaned in and snapped a few shots off – no time for anything else because my friends were well on the way towards the horizon by this point.

      I’d completely forgotten about the word “gossamer”. Lovely word, too. Ta.

   HA! Love it! Was expecting something profound, and well, yes, that is profound!
