Little did I think that three weeks or so ago, when we had that lovely mild spell, that we would dive head first back into a freezing winter. But we did. It seemed so unfair to be tempted with the joys of spring to come, to have 48 hours of torrential rain, followed by a big freeze and a few days of snow. Max’s paddock was like a frozen paddy field!
Thank goodness that awful, freezing wind has dried the ground out. At least we have to be thankful for that. But it’s still freezing at night and frosty in the morning, with no sign of a change on the horizon.

That is completely and utterly stunning, how on Earth do you manage to get such stunning spiders’ webs? I can never manage to find a frozen one, most I’ve got is of one covered in dewdrops.
Thanks for linking up and sharing it.
Thanks very much for your kind comment. Seen quite a lot of frozen spiders’ webs this winter!
ooo That is a good shot. I’m useless at catching spider webs. They are always so atmospheric somehow.
Thanks, glad you liked it. They are so beautiful, aren’t they?!
#buttsin# If you see a well formed one give it a careful fine mist of water then take a shot using your macro setting.
I LOVE taking pictures of webs and spiders.
Ah, thanks for the tip, will try it!
nature enhancing nature, the cold weather has its uses
Absolutely, not much fun for the spiders though. That is if they are active in the winter, I don’t know…
That looks like a very chilly morning
Hiya, thanks for popping by. Yes, it has been a bit nippy (coldest was -14 degrees) this winter! Well, and Spring!
I always think cob webs look so pretty covered in snow & ice. Cool shot!
Thanks. Yes, you see so much more when they’re all icey!
I love frosty cobwebs! They are just such beautiful things at any time actually!
Absolutely, makes the fine intricacy of their make up that much more visible!
Great photo. I still haven’t managed to find a frozen cobweb to photograph! It might have to wait until next Winter now
You never know, the way this Spring is going you may still get the chance! Thanks for your comment, tis much appreciated.
I agree the weather has been very erratic – roll on spring. Are those cobwebs real? If so I wouldn’t like to meet the spider who spun them!
Real cobwebs, yes. Feel sorry for the spiders. Don’t know whether they are active in the winter, or whether they hibernate…
fantastic shot, but where is spring?? x
Absolutely, where, indeed is Spring? It’s getting really boring now. Want to get on with the garden, sowing veggies, etc.
What a stunning picture x
Kara, you’re too kind! Thanks for the visit!
Great cobwebs. I love the way frost makes them heavier and thicker.
Hi Erica, thanks for popping by, glad you like my photo.
great web shot, they look so pretty. Happy easter x
Many thanks for your kind comment!
So Pretty x
Many thanks!
Wow what beautiful cobwebs! I find them so eery but beautiful, especially with a bit of frost on them 🙂
Thank you for linking up with Photo of The Week XX
Thanks Louise for your comment!
I love frosty cobwebs!
Thanks Emily for dropping by.
I just can’t believe it’s still sooo cold:( I really hope the weather will get better soon x
Well, here we are a week later and it still froze last night, but what a glorious day. It really was quite warm out of the wind.
what big cobwebs. i always think they are beautiful to look at when covered in dew or frost but not when covered in spiders or when i accidently walk through one!!
great photo and happy easter x
Thanks so much for your comment and Easter wishes. Yes, I have spine chilling memories as a child, running through a spiders web. Still makes me shudder to think of it. Hate spiders.
Very cool photo, loving the frozen cobwebs! 🙂 x
Lovely, thanks for your comment.
Beautiful photo- amazing to have captured this in March! I hope it thaws out for you soon.
Thanks very much for your comment. The weather today has been glorious out of the wind. Almost like Spring! lol.
I adore frosted cobweb shots. I was lucky enough to catch one myself earlier in the winter. They never grow old
Thanks so much for your comment and visit to my blog. Glad you like my photo.

Thanks very much Tammy for your comment.
I love the beauty in frozen cobwebs and what a beautiful photo
Oooh, lovely comment, many thanks!
You’re right, is IS unfair.. but what a wonderful photo you got out of it! My 3 year old has been staring at it for ages now!
xx
Oh, how lovely. The frost on the web makes it show up much better and makes you realise just how intricate they are! Clever spiders.
I really, really want to capture a frozen spider web as they are beautiful BUT I am prepared to wait for next year’s cold season as I’ve had enough of this one now
Yes, I think we all have. Today has been wonderful, really quite warm out of the wind. Long may it last!
Wow that’s beautiful! Hate spiders but they do make lovely webs, what a great photo =)
Thanks so much for your comment.
I don’t like spiders, but their webs are very pretty.
MMm, me neither. Thanks for the visit!
That is so beautiful. Frozen in time
Thanks for the visit and kind comment, much appreciated.
