A Delicate Balance

I saw this drop hanging from an Agave cactus in my yard after a heavy rain.
It appears to be balanced between two thorns, and is still intact.

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments on yesterday's Drops.

Such nice lines reflected in this magically suspended drop. The diagonal row of little yellow hooks makes a delightful composition.
