Oak Leaf Raindrops

trapped critter or debris?

I think this is trapped debris.

Amazing

Finally back from my trip to Oregon. The trees were just turning and I had a brief moment one lunchtime to grab a few shots of leaves on the ground.

This is a rain soaked Oak leaf laying on the ground and at first glance looks nothing out of the ordinary, until you get up close. Then a whole new world emerges.

Taken in Beaverton - Oregon

Love the title of this! They do look like tiny crystal jewels on the leaf. Love the narrow focus too :D

I'm listening to Franz Schuberts Unfinished Symphony No.8 in B minor; as I'm wandering through your photostream. Its a perfect combination; it draws me to the image, making me wish I could pass into it and experience the moment wholly. Still, doing so vicariously is no small thing. Its an enviable record of an enviable moment. A tip of the hat to you for posting such a beautiful photo!

if you look close theres some chromatic distortion on the water drops near the left and right of the leaf
