The Case Of The World Wide Web

A couple mornings ago I looked outside and noticed that our trees were covered with spider webs glistening with dewdrops.  There were so many webs, in fact, that it looked like everything was covered with them – a world-wide web, so to speak.  Here's what it looked like in our front yard:

A closer look shows the beauty of the dewdrops on each strand of the web.  Notice that most of drops are quite uniform in size and spacing.

An even closer look shows how the dewdrops are refracting light, giving a very subtle rainbow of color from greenish on the right to reddish on the left.
