Dear Friend,
           At this time of the year,one can observe beauty of dew drops on leaves,flowers,cobweb etc.I am attaching three images of dew drops on leaves of Rose,Dandelion and Mustard.These images were taken today.You can see the distinct droplets on the edges of these leaves,but the same is not true in case of other leaves in the general area.Can any one explain why this happens?
Regards
