A recent rain left this pallet of water droplets on one of our evergreens: perhaps a Calgary juniper, although I no longer remember its name with any confidence.
What is generating the pink/purple colour in the droplets? I’m not sure, but it could be what I was wearing, although neither are my colours. Some funky refraction, I guess.
What invisible something is suspending the droplets? I’m not sure, but I suspect a spider web–not my happiest suspension suspicion but a reminder that nothing is all good or all bad. Even spiders, you ask? For now, I’m suspending judgement.
I’m guessing the colour may have something to do with juniper rust?? A fungus common on them? However- just a guess. Lovely photo!
Alison – Fungus? Yucky. Oh well, nothing is all good or all yucky, yeah? It could be rust. My optics knowledge is next to nothing (on the negative side of next-to, I think).
It’s gorgeous, however and whatever brought it to your lens. And to our lenses. I can imagine designing a fabric from it. Or from your photo of it, which arrives on my screen in the midst of gloom and a terrific storm, brightening the gloom. And did I mention the car that now has my only key locked inside of it? Or the missing debit card that made me freeze my account yesterday but that someone may have spotted on the car’s back seat, after the car was locked? You just never know how many burdens large and small you photos may lift with their magic!
Laurna – Oh, no. Here’s hoping for a quick restoration of access – to your car’s interior and to your bank account (but just by you). Life just keeps on coming at us, doesn’t it?
Simply stunning, Isabel.

Tom – Many thanks.
Very nicely seen and captured isabel
The spider’s cousins are quite often very busy as well at Mer Bleue Boardwalk.
It is a VERY dense web and other than silkworms does anything else make webs?
Jim – Many thanks. The only other possibility that I could think of was some sort of tree fuzz that had got caught in the branches, but that seems unlikely. Spiders it is/are.
