Whilst out photographing Damselflies just the other day the morning was just full of a fine mist rain and made for some good opportunities for photographs. I was taking a shot of a damselfly that was bathing in a droplet of water on a stem of Phragmites. Eventually, when clean and warm enough, it took off. Just before I removed my camera from its position I noticed some fine droplets of water on the leaves below and I thought it looked like a good photo opportunity, so here is the result..

Not quite fauna or flora but it is Nature at it's best...

Kind regards,

Brett.

Splendid, probably more commercailly and hence publically acceptable than a damselfly images...

Now that is unusual. Those droplets vary so much, some looking like crystal balls and some even look like miniature planets.
