Diamonds in the Rough by sunnygreenwood

Diamonds in the Rough

The leaves of Alchemilla mollis [Lady's Mantle] are great for showing off droplets. Small depressions form on the surface of the soft leaves which capture morning dew or rain, in this case rain. The best pics are when there's just a rim of droplets on the outer edge. I'll need a dewy morning, no rain for that photo op.

Many thanks for dropping by.
