Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate
Sweetgrass is one of my favorite grasses in South Carolina. In the fall, the blooms turn a magnificent pink and look beautiful when they catch the sun. One early morning, I was out shooting close-ups and came upon a patch of dew covered Sweetgrass.
A rewarding morning capturing these delicate necklaces of fronds and dew.

With Fronds Like These…
And here is Sweetgrass when it has dried out from the morning dew:
Pretty In Pink
So Fine

Yes, those were raindrops on a spider web over some rocks. Amazing opportunity! I also captured dew drops on spider webs from grass spiders. They’re amazing.
