These photos stem from the second week in May 2001, after a rainfall.
At first I thought that the plant below was a shrub, but now, in mid-June, it's beginning to bud, so I expect brilliant flowers. Here, however, the main interest is dewdrops. Second, my macro lens (a Panagor 90mm) doesn't have a true zoom but the zoom of a macro inasmuch as one can get closer and closer and closer until incredible detail is revealed.

For the second photo, I moved in somewhat closer and concentrated on one of the leaves.

For the third photo, I moved to within a few inches of a leaf to concentrate on the dewdrops. From this range, the drops are refracting the sun, and each seems to be its own star.

| Clicking on the photo above shows a larger-size version, about 65K, which is much better for detail (and those folks with fast modems). | ||
