After class (adult-learning evening class) we sometimes used to go to a pub in Summertown called ‘The Dew Drop Inn’ – (what an awful pun) for a glass of a favourite tipple and a debrief: but the name came to mind this afternoon on the way back from work when I stopped for a photo of the trees hung with Christmas decoration style icicles…. I think they caught my eye because of the sun’s position in the sky.
Looking back along the road the golden light of the lowering sun caught the trees and hedges
I went closer to the icicle for a picture of the sun coming through it and noticed a little dew drop at the tip
which I tried to capture… at one point getting too close, so that the drop fell off and into my lens!


Fabulous photos! I hope the dew drop didn’t ruin your lens!
I dried it off ASAP!
Lovely Pseu
I think I was lucky with the light. 2 more minutes and it would have been too late
Pseu! That last one is exquisite.
I thought I might make a print of it actually, to use as a birthday card?
What wonderful pictures. The focus on the dewdrop in the last picture is stunning!
I’m very pleased with it… specially as I had to hold my arms in the air and take a guess about the distance! I took a lot and only two or three came out.
Absolutely stunning photos, Pseu. Well done for capturing the light and the reflection in the drop.
thank you earlybird.
Now we have snow.
Beautiful pictures, Pseu. Such rich colour.
thank you, Dick
I can’t seem to navigate to your site from your comment…
That’s a great photo, the close-up of the drop. Such detail!
hi Judi, nice to see you!
Love it! Timing is everything in photography.
