Took these earlier last week when we had a little bit of heavy dew and a gleam of sun. Rick and I spent the weekend in the hospital --an unexpected "tuneup" for him (as opposed to the scheduled hospital stays) so I was pretty busy, and still am even though he is back home. ONE of these days he will be better!!!! Not complaining though. He was home for Father's Day, and he is TONS better than he was even a couple of months ago. Some days, though, the two steps forward and one step back can get a little discouraging.
I love the way you can see the hosta variegation in that large drop. It reminds me of a shooter marble. Does anyone even play marbles anymore??

  4. I just love looking at your photos. The focus, clarity, especially the drops is amazing. I hope that from here on out he keeps taking steps foward and none backwards.

  6. Pat...you should make a book of all of your beautiful droplets so I can buy it and ooooo and ahhhh over ever single one on a daily basis! I just love how you capture the reflections, the light, the drop itself, and the background so exquisitely.

  12. Beautiful, as always! My youngest dd doesn't play marbles, but she collects them and they were the first thing I thought of when I saw that big drop. I'm sorry Rick had to go back to the hospital, but glad he is doing better! :)
