Water Droplet on Spider Silk Ridge in on a wind-scoured ridge near Philadelphia

Water Droplet on Spider Silk Ridge

by Tabitha Fowler

One, perfect sphere of water clings to a translucent strand of spider silk stretched across the frame. The droplet magnifies the blurred background of a wind-scoured ridge near Philadelphia, revealing hints of dormant grass and muted earth tones. Soft, overcast midmorning light diffuses evenly, eliminating harsh shadows and allowing the water's surface tension to hold its spherical shape against gravity. The silk strand appears almost invisible except where it catches the light, creating a thin, silvery line. Tiny imperfections in the water's surface reflect the pale sky above. At the edge of the droplet, the silk curves sharply, demonstrating the physical tension holding the liquid in place.
