Nice droplets. Wonder what it looks like in colours? :) The reflection from them could be interesting.

Lovely shot. At first glimpse I thought they were snail shells. It took a little while for the penny to drop.

@Roman: They are berries from a Nandine plant. Not sure if they are edible - will go and try - if you do not hear from me, they're poisonous.

Well done. The tones are very nice. I love the look of water and ice on berries. I love how you can actually see what looks like bubbles in the droplets.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie - yes, they are bubbles - quite amazing as the droplets were really small.

You know Rob, I'm reading more and more comments about UFO's Aliens, and ET's and I think I'm to blame :( lol
Nice shot of these drippings berries.
