    It is amazing the effect that water droplets have on a plant. @Slow-worm when training to be a biology teacher many moons ago I had to produce a herbarium of wildflowers. I did it along a road on the Isle of Wight and the best photo was the close up of a foxglove...so yours brought back memories of that road!

    Is the diamond pattern in the water droplets a reflection of the trellis behind? That kind of thing makes me stupidly happy.


    Yes. You can find photos of droplets on a spider's web with each droplet forming an image of a flower behind it, like this:

    Now I've got my glasses on.. yes! Thanks for pointing that out Fire! 
    It's the simple things in life isn't it? Makes me stupidly happy too!
    Alan I'm going to try for webs now!

    I usually pull this vetch, but I've left this one to wend its way through the bamboo.

    This is a detail from old photo from walking in Spain, one of my favourites. If you know what to look for :D it shows me taking the photo, woodland behind and the clouds behind that, reflected in a raindrop on a rose.
