TWO SNAILS & PLENTY OF DROPLETS

avatar

A bit of rain fell today, early in the morning. I walked the short distance from my bed to the garden, intending to eat a couple of figs for breakfast. On the way to the fig tree, I soon noticed two snails on the unnecessary fence that partially encloses the corner of my yard dedicated to tomatoes, papers, and zucchini.

I photographed the snails, and then I continued with the droplets that gave a bit of refreshing magic to the ordinary stuff in my garden and gave me enough visually attractive material for today's post.

Here you can see a bunch of droplets on the red surface of the ripe tomato that soon will be eaten.

In this photograph, I came even closer to a droplet left by the rain on the green tomato.

These droplets on another red tomato are lit by the morning sunlight in a different, more intense way. The clouds were slowly floating across the sky, covering and uncovering the sun along the way.

On various surfaces, the water forms slightly different droplets.

IMG_4567 malo.jpg

The droplets shown in this, the previous, and the following two shots, were photographed on the leaves of the Chenopodium album plant.

Chenopodium album grows as a weed here in my garden but it's actually a healthy and tasty edible plant,

I use it as spinach sometimes.

In this wide shot, you can take a look at the dense, intricate mix of planted tomatoes and self-seeding Chenopodium album plants. The droplet, shown in the following photograph ...

IMG_4550 malo.jpg

... was hanging from one of the green tomatoes and reflecting some lovely details of its surroundings.

IMG_4552 malo.jpg

Here you can see one of the droplets on the opposite side of the tomato globe.

IMG_4555 malo.jpg

At one point, while photographing the droplets, I noticed a well-camouflaged insect among the tomatoes.

(Enlargeable)

This is the wingless nymph of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys).

IMG_4541 malo.jpg

Here you can see three droplets that already appeared in one of the shots earlier in the post but I got closer with the macro lens this time so the droplets look considerably bigger.

IMG_4411 malo.jpg

In this wide shot, you can see how the tomatoes and peppers in my garden look early in the morning. In the following photograph ...

IMG_4574 malo.jpg

... you can take a look at the droplets on the leaves of the pepper plant.

IMG_4583 malo.jpg

As the sun was rising, those leaves were getting illuminated in a different way ...

IMG_4576 malo.jpg

... so I had the opportunity to take quite a few fairly different portraits of the same kind of plant.

IMG_4586 malo.jpg

At one point, while photographing the droplets on the leaves ...

IMG_4580 malo.jpg

... I found another stink bug.

(Enlargeable)

You can see a Nezara viridula nymph in this and the previous photograph. This species is commonly known as the southern green shield bug.

IMG_4581 mallo.jpg

Here you can see more droplets. Always on the same kind of plant - the pepper.

IMG_4577 malo.jpg

After taking this shot ...

IMG_4570 malo.jpg

... I photographed an entire green tomato tastefully decorated with delicate pearls made of water.

(Enlargeable)

The snails were photographed very early in the morning. The atmosphere was still gloomy in my yard.

In this last wide shot, you can take one last look at the lovely red tomatoes displayed in my garden. The post ends here. As always here on Hive, the photographs are my work.

Any type of droplets are always fun to photograph (especially with a macro lens). Water is probably the most common choice, but there are many other forms of droplets.

You experimented a little with your creative eye, well done! !PIZZA !LOLZ

Awesome shots ~ Enjoy your day ... 😎

Here it is very hot during the day and it has not rained for a long time, so people are in trouble because of the high heat. When it rains on the leaves and things, they become more beautiful.

What a beautiful way to start your day, capturing the beautiful moments of a gentle morning rain. I'm sure you aren't expecting to see the two snails making their way along the fence. It is this unexpected moments like this that give us an insight to the beauty embedded in nature.

Really interesting and great work. One of the most beautiful property of rain drops is that when they falls on something, it takes the color of it.

Hmm I wonder what the rust is doing to the snails? If anything at all?

Beautiful pictures bud, truly!!

In my experience, it looks like they don't have problems with the rust.

So cool to be able to just walk down and pick a couple of figs for a quick snack. Do you have any other fruit trees which you frequent?

I see that you are growing tomatoes, which is always a treat on a sandwich. Those look like some type of cherry tomatoes - that's so dope! Had to do a quick internet search to figure out what a 'zucchini' is lmao.. seems to be a marrow - can't go wrong with that either!

Snails are too adorable. I photographed a few this week for one of my journal posts haha. They are cool creatures! Stink bugs are interesting little creatures.. I've had to rescue a few over the years which somehow made it indoors.

Great photos! Keep well my friend. Enjoy your awesome harvests! 🍅

I think that the beauty of these dew drops will be appreciated not only by thirsty snails, but also by those who look at these cool photographs :)

The light and water droplets are so much fun to photograph aren’t they? I should really do the same and head back to the garden for some shots.

Love seeing the snails and bugs share the garden as part of the ecosystem as long as they dont take too much. ;). Random frog pic from my camping trip as my contribution!
