Macro Mondays On the Inside theme. In the water drop you see a small Mardi Gras mask which is a refraction image.
My thought for this subject was not just an image inside a water drop but also that this is part of a king cake which many celebrate the season of epiphany through Shrove Tuesday. Inside the cake is a small plastic baby. "King cakes became a part of part of the celebration to symbolize the finding of baby Jesus." If you find the baby in your serving you make or buy the cake next year.

Every day I take a shower and do not realize the beauty of each individual drop of water that falls upon my head. Here is that beauty realized. It is fantastic when you click on lightbox to see it larger and on black.
It is almost summer in the USA and the weather is very warm, but a week ago, it was lightly raining, so to cool off your week ahead, I offer a cooling view of damp visions. These are all from both of my front and rear gardens.
The Dancer, twirling gracefully
For a brief moment this water drop danced on the dimly lit stage.
The last of these water drop shots before I disappear away for a few days.
Taking water drop macros can be both challenging and great fun.
Here's a small gallery I've put together to showcase other people's water drop shots that have inspired me to have a go:
Dodging terrible weather today, quickly took a gathering of water droplets, then back inside to the warm :)

Water abstract. In space no-one can hear you scream
No, not taken with the Hubble Telescope!
This is just some reflections in a bowl of water taken using the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens, the nearest thing I've got to Hubble! It does remind me of some far off galaxy! SOOC, slight crop.
Lots more like this in my Water Drops Set

A few people asked about my 'setup' for water drop shots. It's rather Heath Robinson, but this hopefully illustrates the basic method.
Camera on tripod.
One black roasting dish full of water.
A couple of foil birthday balloons lit with a halogen lamp to provide the colour.
100mm macro lens manually focussed on the water surface - I just dip a teaspoon into the water, focus on that and use that as an aiming point for landing the drops.
No flash used.
One teaspoon to dribble water from.
Burst mode to take a series of shots.
A wireless remote shutter release is handy, but not shown here!
Need to play about with angles to get the best reflections.
High ISO 800-1600 and manual exposure settings - most are f/2.8 at between 1/500th and 1/1000th second
Large bottle of Patience - about 1 in 10 are useable shots!
Have fun if you try this!!!
Couldn't resist - one more failed water drop macro! The patterns and colours are mesmerising. Done with a dishful of water, a light and a foil birthday balloon to provide the colour.

My friend Roni is an inspiration behind this image. She creates amazing and beautiful macro abstracts.
