Great title! I love dew drops but don't have much of a chance to capture them here in dry Central TX - but yours are superb and I'm happy viewing how you "do the dew"! :) Wonderful capture, Tess! #7950527

Thanks for the great comment, Murry! I liked the stripe of deep red on this plant stem, and was glad that it twisted around to the side I could shoot! #7950967

Couldn't get my tripod into the flower bed, so I had to lean over, bend sideways, AND handhold to get this. #7951269

Great work, Tess. This image pops! I was looking for fillies in the droplets. Must be busy biting young stallions. :)

Thanks for the wonderful comment, Steve! I had someone clone out the fillies in the droplets...I contract out for that stuff, until I'm PSE-savvy enough to clone for myself. ;) #7958355
