The world globes itself in a drop of dew.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fog droplets bathed much of the vegetation yesterday (click photos to enlarge)
Yesterday morning’s fog left not only pearl-strung silk necklaces strewn across the meadow, but also vegetation, and the insects hiding amongst it, covered in shimmering beads of water. I can’t resist trying to capture images of these bejeweled beauties on such a morning. Droplets of water seem to make everything more worthy of our attention.

Droplets make even a Flesh Fly (at least I think that is what this is) more appealing

Loved the spider webs yesterday and dew drops today!
Thank you, it was a beautiful morning out there.
Great shots of the dew drops! I was out in the woods with my dog before dawn this morning and got a few dew drop shots too. They look like God’s morning pearls making everything even more beautiful. Thanks for all your posts!
Thanks, Dan.
