BeckyB JulySquares: Perspectives
~~~
I almost missed witnessing a clandestine dewdrop convention during a walk last week. Fortunately a glint of sun caught my eye…stopping me in my tracks.
What is that?
I carefully trespassed a few yards onto an expanse of lawn to investigate. Nobody was out and about…so I was safe to proceed.
First look:
How the heck were those drops hanging there? No signs of a cobweb that I could see.
Gotta get closer.
Second look:
Maybe…it really was magic.
Third look:
Yup. Magic. That explains it.
Wow, you’ve a sharp eye! I thought they were some kind of eggs.

Definitely magic, but then I think all drops are magical. Well-spotted! I would have thought a spider web, too.

I have to agree with you. I searched and found no spider webs. So what’s left? Magic.

Thank you. No, I had my Canon camera with me. I don’t think my phone would have done it justice π

OK, that settles it. Time to get a new Canon. I’ve wanted one for yours. Decades ago I had a Canon AE1, and I’ve never taken such great pictures since. What do you have, if I may ask?

I just bought this one a year ago. My first DSLR. I got some guidance from a professional photographer blogger on how and what to look for. It’s a Canon EOS RP. I only bought one lens ($$) – the macro one – RF 35mm F1.8. I know there is still more I can do with it, but need to find a tutorial. (I had a Canon film camera back in the day and loved that one too)

Thanks Martha! I was so intrigued by this. I looked and looked and could see no web. Although my husband, who was with me, insisted there Must Be One. I could find no evidence. Perhaps I’m the one who believes in magic π
