22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Nature’s Tapestry

In this photo, a delicate cobweb clings to a dried plant, shimmering with tiny drops of morning dew. The web looks like nature's lace, intricately spun and perfectly catching the light. Each droplet glistens, highlighting the spider’s detailed craftsmanship. The soft background of greens and blurred hues creates a peaceful, dreamy atmosphere, making the cobweb the star of the scene. It's a quiet moment that shows the beauty in small, often overlooked details of the natural world.
