today was misty
so I saw many spider webs
the webs are always there
but the dusky mist calls them up
In Finnish, the name of the spider ~ hämähäki ~ calls up all that is damp dusky and dim
hämärtää ~ grow dusky, get dark, grow dim
hämäryys ~ dimness; obscurity
hämärä ~ dusky, shadowy, vague, faint, dim, shady
hämäräperäinen ~ shady, suspicious, mysterious
hämäännys ~ confusion
The English word 'web' is from the Anglo-Saxon webb, stem from weave

O, fantastic photos! When I was little, my mother sang a little ditty accompanied by a weaving of the hands, that began 'hämä, hämä,hämähäkki'. I wish I could remember the rest.
Those are some excellent spider web photos!
My photos are simple; no special effects as I don't know how to do them. Only yesterday, cleaning the garage, did I find the box for the now-considered-old Sony camera that I use. So, now I can actually learn how to use it. So far it's been point and shoot. Mostly I'm lucky that what's "out there" agrees to enter the screen in some semblance of its true majestic totality.
