Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist

A Single Drop

EarlyMorningDew-26How cool is this single drop? It’s perched on the end of one of the leaves of the weed shown below. I love the way water droplets are rounded (that’s science!!) and that they reflect the world around them (that’s science too LOL). This pink flower is a tiny weed, just a centimetre long.

Oh Lucile! These are for The Clinic!

        I always wanted to buy a macro-objective for my cam just because of such pictures but I just can’t imagine to give away so much money just for fun 😄 still I regret not buying one each time I see such pics 😄

          I love that you call it an objective. Such a scientist! The macro is fantastic for portraits as well – gives much more realistic facial shapes.

    Such lovely, lovely captures, as usual. That water droplet is absolutely amazing! I’m no scientist, but I must agree that science is pretty darn cool. 🙂

          Yes! Very true. Did you see “Men in Black”? Do you remember that last scene where they pan out from the two of them, then pan out further from the city, the earth, the Galaxy etc??

    These are gorgeous! Beauty and magic in a single drop. I wish I had a macro lens at the moment to capture all the life stages of the ladybird in my wattle tree. They are magnificent too!

    As I said, love those droplets! The top post on my blog is also of a single drop: https://sustainabilitea.wordpress.com/2015/01/30/weekly-photo-challenge-depth/. Not trying to push it, but if you’re interested…. I’m loving meeting new bloggers through Photo Rehab!
