    Pretty aren't they! All taken on a spider's web hanging across some rosemary in a bed at the front of the garden. If you look closely you can see the rosemary (inverted) inside the droplets. the effect is best on the first shot.

    these were my first real attempt at something like this. Not an original idea (credit to the chap who goes under the name of Lord V on Flickr). He has some utterly amazing water droplet photos, plus some of the finest insect macros I've ever seen.

    Mark, if you go to the link 'utterly amazing water droplets' further up the comments, you'll get to the page of the guy who did the photos in the Daily Mail. He also pops in to WAB every now and then.

    Kora, they were taken late morning, just after 11.20 to be exact (I couldn;t remember but cheked the EXIF data). Glad you liked them. I haven't had an opportunity to try any more since then. But spiders and light rain seems a perfect combination.
