Dew on spider’s web.
Water drop on spider’s thread. The background streaks are from wind-blown fog.
I have been making photos of water drops in nature for about three years now. Photographing small things demands that I slow down and pay attention. I need that discipline in my life. Everyday, people, chores, work, deadlines, etc., all vie for my attention. These little vignettes demand nothing from me yet invite me to stop and wonder at the beauty of it all. I should probably care more about the physics behind this—surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, etc.,—but for me, it’s a God thing. Truly, we live in a world of wonders.
Almost all of these photo were taken with my iPhone 4S and the Ollo clip. It’s an amazing little attachment! No Photoshopping was done on these images.

Amazing! Stunning! Each of the reflections of the water drops were capturing. But the one with the drops on the green leaf reflecting the fuchsia flowers was particularly grand. The out of focus flower was almost completely in focus in one of the droplets!
Thanks for stopping by Wayne and for noticing!
These are all so exquisite, Dorothy. They still my soul. I have to admit, though, I am very partial to the the one with the branches reflected in it. Thanks for sharing these.
Well then, how about that one for your house warming gift?
