Very, very beautiful macro. At first I thought that this is some insect coming out of cocoon

Terrific shot RK! I love those silk threads that seem to be holding up the buds. I really want to get a macro lens as these pictures are fascinating. :-) CJ

This is a very fascinating image to look at. Well done RK!

Ah yes, I see it now. I think it was the thin spider web that was throwing me off, me thinking that it was a nest of some type. Wonderful capture! jano

Jano - these are leaf buds (if thats what they are called) covered in morning dew.
