When I shot the (unedited) images that you are going to see next, you may relate to images of our galaxy or to a microscopic view of our body cells. No, I am not an astronaut nor a scientist…
I shot these at home. These are water droplets on a spider’s net, resting in the gutter of a roof terrace. What was I doing there? Enjoying and shooting the sunrise.
Either way, these images share distinctive features. Whilst being connected, droplets are individually positioned, and the spider web provides the boundaries for the existence of their uniqueness. And even the solitary leaf has made room for itself, connecting and supporting the web structure.

beautiful!
Thank you!
Fantastic photos!
Thank you!
Love the details and the contrast of monochrome vs. colour! Great shots!
Thank you. I didn’t edit though. It’s as shot. Nice, isn’t it?
Very!!!
Wow these are fantastic shots. Love the contrast – excellent!!
Inspired by the macro empress DJ!
This is one of my favourite things to shoot, and I love seeing the wonderful webs others capture and share. Well done. So pretty! 🙂
It’s now my favorite too! Thank you, Amy.
brilliant, such great shots
Thanks, Julie. 😀
WOW! These photos are awesome. So sparkly and clear.
Thank you so much!
Lucile, please take some really crappy shots so I feel vindicated. 😀 These are awesome!
I already do, Lois, believe me. I just don’t post them too often, otherwise you will leave me! 😉 Thanks! xx
Ha! Never! You are way too talented.
You are way too nice to me! And I like it! Thanks! 😘
Lucile, your pictures are stunning!
Thank you so much, Sandra. I am glad you like them.
I love them!
*blushing*
I love the first, it looks like neurons. I was thinking of doing a post on migraines. If I do: could I use the first one? Crediting you of course.
Of course you can, it’s a honor for my photo to accompany a wordsmith of you caliber. And the theme is promising…
Cool. Thanks!
😀
Lucile! You’ve done it again ! These pics are amazing and your editing is super cool!
Thank you, Lia! But nature truly deserves all credits because these are unedited shots. 🙂
Oh Lucile! How did I miss that?! Forgive me! That makes these pics even more fabulous!
Happy Friday and happy weekend:)
Forgive you? You’re so sweet. No need to apologize.
The same for you! Have a great one! Xx
Thank you!:))
😀
but i dont think nautre can take all the credit Lucille – i agree, these are amazing. i love how in the first picture the strength of the silky flimsy spiders web can be seen, supporting what seem to be very heavy water droplets , and in the last one, the water droplets are showcased, without seeing the support structure of the web. if they were unedited it just shows your talent in focus to bring us these beautiful shots. 🙂
you see – maybe you shouldn’t reinstate your like button – i would have just clicked “like” lol…. xx
You’re the loveliest and most persuasive ‘liker’ ever! You’ll end up convincing me one day!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Debbie.
Wonderful captures, so fascinating… 🙂
Thank you, Drake. I was fascinated when appreciating it.
…another suject matter that seems to lend itself to making many pictures because they will always be different from one another. I am fascinated biy this kind of variation (even more so if it includes boundaries). And I love the coloured leaves!
Very true. I made many pictures exploring the different angles, and could keep shooting there forever. I shot one which made me immediately think of your photos. It is the one of the leaf, but also including the wood around the gutter, like a frame for a painting.
I am happy that you liked it. Thanks.
Stunning Lucille. Liquid diamonds! All these shots are absolute Gems!
Thanks for the lovely comment, Leanne. Made me smile and shine like a diamond!
🙂
Glorious! I’m in love with no. 3 but I love them all 🙂
I love the third image best, too! But glorious they all are!
Thank you, Sue. You put a smile on my face.
😀
Thank you, Jo! I couldn’t decide on which one to post as I made so many shots, and went for these. But I confess I have undivided love for them all! 😉
Beautifully done Lucile – especially like that first one, very abstract and molecular! (Couldn’t find the ‘Like’ button this time!)
Beautiful photos!
Thank you for dropping by and fur the lovely comment.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much!
Having the leaf and its color adds a beautiful dimension to the photos, Lucile.

Thank you, Janet, I appreciate your comment very much.
I am absolutely amazed that these are unedited, Lucile! These are unbelievably gorgeous. The detail is incredible and the composition is perfect. You are so talented!
Just perfect light, and a macro lens with a superb aperture, Britta. I was afraid it wouldn’t be sharp as I shot manual and had no tripod, but it turned fine.
I’m grateful for your kind comment. It means a lot. Thanks.
But YOU took them, so you must give yourself a little credit, here. 🙂
You’re always welcome, Lucile.
Granted. I happily accept your praise. Thanks.
You perhaps don’t know, Britta, but the Dutch culture has a very strong characteristic, and even a saying to strengthen its meaning. It goes like that: Doe maar gewoon. Or you can also say: Doe normaal. What is the meaning? Simply states that one is expected to do their best, as a normal behavior, with no need for praise or show off. So, getting compliments is often unsettling.
I’ve been assimilated! Lol
you’re not showing off dear Lucetje – you never could! btw i googled diminutives in dutch, and in the whole list of many names, not a Lucille in site – is this the correct use? can one diminitize your name by saying “Lucetje”? in Dutch? if not, how would one say it? 🙂
Haha not every word gets the ‘tje’ in Dutch. It doesn’t sound good. My name is French and that’s why you don’t find it. The diminutives for my name are either Lu or Cile.
That’s amazing! They look so delicate, and otherwordly. Really good!
I’m overwhelmed by the comment ! Thank you.
Simply stunning, Lucile, beautiful take on the theme!
Thanks much, Terri.
What a great set of photos and just right for the theme. They really do look like they are from out of space. Amazing 🙂
I am in love with these images, Debbie, and they are now on my computer’s screen.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment.
I have to say, Lucile – your photography is breathtaking. I am extremely envious of your gift and talent 😉 beautiful shots xx
Hi Hayley! You don’t have yo say it but I’m humbled by your comment. Thank you! Xx
❤ xx
Just a quick note to say I now wish you still had the Like button! So many days and weeks I want to let you know how much I like your photos, but I just don’t have time (or a unique comment that says something new!) to write something, especially because you post so much! Anyway, just checking in to say I often admire your photos, including these very cool water droplets!
Your quick note will remain a long time on my heart for it is very considerate and generous. I truly appreciate it. You really don’t need to write anything and this comment will stay forever.
I’m using the like button occasionally for photos and just need to use it more often.
Heartfelt thanks!
These are stunning. You have a gift with getting the perfect shot.
I’m grateful and overwhelmed by your comment. Thank you.
