Fragile Isolation

            A small water droplet on a single dandelion seed.  You wouldn't believe how long this took me but the 3 hours passed so quickly.  This was only the 7th shot, but the setup was so time consuming.  For the main part the water droplet kept falling off and I had to replace it, but by the time I got back to the camera, it had fallen off again.  Then the seed broke and I had to carefully extract another one from the dandelion head .. and again .. and again ..
