“I have left my bed and walked upon the grass and the night dew has wet my feet and the hem of my garment. Here I stand under the blossoms of the almond tree, heeding the call of your spirit. ”
~Kahlil Gibran, Communion of Spirits, The Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran

Went I laid in the grass to photograph the dew and rain drops in the grass yesterday morning I thought of these lines from Kahlil Gibran’s prose Communion of Spirits.

Dew Drop

I hope you all have a sunny Friday and week-end both in your spirits and weather!

      Thank you! I laid down a tarp then laid on it using my arms and elbows as a tripod-more or less. 🙂 I was using my macro lens in manual exposure, and focusing modes. I had pretty good light so I left my ISO at its native 100, but I was cutting it fine with a shutter speed of 1/125s shooting something that close up.
