WATER OF GUTATION

My front yard, Valley Station, KY

Fujichrome Velvia 50, OM-4T, 90mm macro lens, 116mm extension tube, focusing rail, 1/2 second at f/22.

"This image proved you don't have to travel far to reach nature.  I shot these blades of grass in my front yard early one morning.  Contrary to what I thought, these tiny drops of water are not dew.  They are in fact water of gutation--water expelled from the plant in the night."
