Wanderer in a strange land
A small fly navigates through 'giant' drops on a leaf. Easter was cold and rainy in Switzerland, but one always finds something with a macro lens...
Physics: nice round drops form because the leaf surface repels water. Energetically it is more favourable for the drops to grow round in order to minimize their shared surface with the leaf.
