Nature's beauty, No. 22

--> Two close ups of the same part of a rose bush and several pointed reasons I felt lucky to be able to make my way around the garden without touching a single plant.
 

First, this one.



Now, this one.

Nature's beauty, No. 21

Two photos today.
 

Rose stem, thorns, dew drops, spiderwebs, cropped close-up. Love the reflections.
 

Rose stem, thorns, dew drops, spiderwebs, here's the wide shot.

These dew drops make me think of mercury glass. If you don't know it, take a moment to Google Image "mercury glass balls" so you can see what I mean--please and thank you.



I can't decide which part of these dew drops I like the most--the ones on the spiderweb or the ones on the leaf stem.
