Yes Carol, the background is very much real. Basically has dead grasses ( as tall as 7 to 8 feet ) behind in background. In fact the web was in one of the grasses. These species of grass ( I do not know the scientific name ), though is not not the elephant grass, but gets quite tall and in autumn gets white flowers on top which more look like huge brushes. :).
