Morning Jewels – Dew, Webs & Wildflowers at Regte Heide

Yesterday’s early walk on the Regte Heide wasn’t just about the sweeping landscape — it was also about the quiet, intricate wonders revealed on my way back. With the sun slowly rising behind me, the morning dew settled like a gentle veil over everything — from spider webs to flower buds, grasses, and seed heads.

Armed with my Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens, I focused in. The Calluna vulgaris (common heather) had just begun to bloom — visible in the first and fifth photos. In the second, a European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) sits patiently in its dew-covered web, each droplet catching light like tiny crystals.

Photo three reveals seeding grass, delicate and fragile. The fourth features a dew-dusted thistle. Then come two species I identified later with Google Lens: Chamaenerion angustifolium (wilgenroosje) in the sixth shot and Lonicera periclymenum ‘Belgica’ (boskamperfoelie) in the seventh.

And finally — a glance outward again. My Canon 7D Mark II with the Sigma 100–400mm lens captured the distant skyline of my hometown, Tilburg, as seen from the edge of the heather fields.

In every drop and bloom, nature whispers its detail. We just need to slow down and look.

Upon a drifting log, a solitary duck rests, cradled by the shimmering reflections of trees and sky. Time stands still in this quiet mirror of water, where nature whispers softly.

A duck resting on a floating log in a calm pond, surrounded by reflections of trees on the water’s surface.

Ice is beginning to form on the lake. The wetlands are further along in becoming iced over in central Ontario. The quiet of winter is approaching. Embrace the season, #getoutside and use the quiet that is here to rest your mind, recharge your being. Embrace the coming winter, it is a beautiful season if you embrace it! #winterIsComing #quietnature

Sky and trees reflect on a glass-like lake with some soft ice forming on the water out from shore.

Day 18 already of #ArtAdventCalendar. The local creek cloaked in a fresh coat of snow. Peace and serenity to start the week before Christmas. Happy Hanukkah to those of you who celebrate! #freshsnow #naturephotography #quietnature #monochrome
