Drops and Yellows

I've been so engrossed with water droplets lately. The colder temperatures in the mornings allow this at home in the province, as they don't evaporate as quickly as in normal days. By colder, i just mean about 23-25C, and to us in the hot tropics that is cold enough. My friends in the temperate countries who have minus zero winters will laugh at me, but that is just our reality. How i really wish you can send us some cold winds when we are in the height of the dry season, with our temps at 35 to 38C! Can you relate with that? Probably you wont, and good you don't experience that.

Let's have some macro!

These past few days i am amused at some water droplets. In the hot tropics, water evaporates so fast and water droplets just cling in there for a few seconds only. They either immediately drop or evaporate.

So now that our temperatures are colder, meaning 24-26C, i hurriedly try to take some droplet shots in the morning. Still, they drop even before i can get some decent shots. The wind is also a factor in focusing, so it really is difficult outdoors at the mercy of wind and sunlight.

 At least i got this hoya nectar mixed with water drops, reflecting the inverted hoya plants. It took me awhile, but i am already happy with this. My knees ached for the unusual position.
