Nice, very nice.

Is this the start of a new genre - minimalist macro - small and less is more?

Stunning image; stunning feat of finding the thing!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you both for your kind comments,

I can't get my head around how thin the stalk is & how strong it must be, bearing in mind how it was flexing back & forth in the slight breeze there was at the time! The web says it's just hardened mucus!!
Once you see one, they're all over the place.....

Thanks again for looking,

Roger.
