They're all beautiful shots, Brian, but the cat in the drop just cracks me up.

How cute is the cat in the water droplet, awww that face, he/she looks stunned

You know Brian your images look like you could reach in and touch them, they are so sharp and natural, and you really know how to give them that magic touch of "WOW" .... you are truly a Brilliant Macro Photographer
.... an excellent series.... Skippy

Thanks for the very kind comments Skippy,

Glad you enjoyed them- took ages to train that cat picture to stay upside down in one place

How do your drops stay so perfectly round? My physics education nags at me that it should fall!

Not totally sure of the physics - but the dewdrops are very small (less than 2.0mm in diameter) seems that at that size surface tension overcomes gravity effects so the drops stay pretty round. Remember they are natural dewdrops formed by condensation effects and they are very stable.
