Raindrops

Posted by Judith (Dunedin/Wellington, New Zealand) on 24 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

My life is being taken over by chemistry.... Whenever I see drops like these I unfortunately think about how the plant outside of the leaves must be hydrophobic to repel the water and have a large contact angle because of the surface tension.
Its nice to know why it forms really round drops, but sometimes I'd rather just appreciate it because it looks pretty.

Here's my attempt at taking a photo everyday for a year. A few of my friends have started it so I thought I would give it a go. I've never been much of a photographer, but hopefully I'll improve over the 365 days.

Well I made it to 250 days but my project 365 kinda died. My reasoning is that I ran out of photos to take, and I lost motivation. So from now I'll just put up photos when I feel like taking them. Might try for 365 some other time.
