Nature's beauty, No. 21

Two photos today.
 

Rose stem, thorns, dew drops, spiderwebs, cropped close-up. Love the reflections.
 

Rose stem, thorns, dew drops, spiderwebs, here's the wide shot.

Nature's beauty, No. 17

I certainly would like to know how these dew drops formed as far apart as they did. And what makes them not slide together? Is it the surface tension of the water juxtaposed with the stickiness of the spiderweb? And on that top strand, whatever made those eight larger dew drops form alongside dozens of teensy ones? You can tell the wind blew as I took the photo, but I just had to share it with y'all. Someone may know the answers to my questions! I'm having a blast with these dew and fog photos.

Another cropped close-up from underneath the rose on the tall stem. Thanks for indulging me with my photos of these flowers, dew drops and spiderwebs.
 

The same photo, uncropped.
 

And here's the same flower a moment later, after the wind had rearranged the spiderweb beneath the petals on the right.

Nature's beauty, No. 9

Cropped into the square shape, sharpened, and resized at PicMonkey. This sort of rose is my all-time favorite because my dearly departed husband LeRoy always gave them to me when he gave me roses. Thank you, darling. I have loved you since lightning struck when I first laid eyes on you at try-outs for that play at The Foolkiller--Transcenmental Hippiedations--on July 31, 1972, in Kansas City, Missouri.

Part of an image that makes it look like I own a macro lens, but I don't. I lucked out and got a clear enough wide shot that I was able to crop to this dew-drop-laden stem to share with you, along with a few spiderwebs.

What a vivid pink! I couldn't get over the fact that these flowers were growing in the ground, not sitting cut in vases at the local grocery store, their color due to some sort of dye wicking its way up their stems and out into the blossoms. Now, I don't know for sure if that is what happens to make those mums/daisies into a wide array of vivid colors. I'm just guessing. Still and all, this vivid pink is growing in the ground! I'm also in awe of the strength exhibited by these single threads of spiderweb, to be able to maintain themselves while loaded with so many dew drops. Absolutely amazing.

I particularly like how this photo turned out and happily cropped it so that you could see the wind blowing the spiderweb. Believe me, I felt extremely lucky when I uploaded this photo and realized that, thankfully, the wind didn't make the flower blow at the same time, or I'd have nothing but blurry dew drops all along the spiderweb.
