Dew Drop Argiope

I have had this spider in one of my bushes for several days now and this morning we had enough fog, mist, or humidity that the spider and web were covered with dew drops. Thanks for taking a look and all C&C welcomed and appreciated!!

Great colours and nice detail.
There is always a breeeze here, so I have NO chance of any webs/spiders - drat!

Nice one, Keith. I've been trying to find a decent image of an argiope in Lafitte lately, but with no success. Interesting that the heavy dew obscures the signature zig-zag in the web.

Very nice shot, with perfect BG and details.
Dewdrops are a big plus.
