This very tiny dew covered curled petal deep in a small begonia caught my eye. Again, I have a very hard time these days trying to handhold macros but had to give it a go. Another I became a little obsessed trying to get a photo.
Sorry for so many photos again. All from the same morning walk yesterday. Saving since very cloudy today with chances of severe storms tonight and Sunday. No need to comment. :)
