drops of old glory

These water drops are refracting the US flag behind them. On the far right you can see one of the red stripes of the flag in the background. Have a great 4th everyone!

yesitsreal ! and my apologies for ever doubting it. When I first saw your refraction shots of flowers I thought it was a photoshop trick and dismissed it. But it bothered me enough to try and see if it could be done for real. I recently proved to myself that it is no trick! Thanks for the inspiration. At last I know WHO to thank after seeing this shot :-)
