The heat has me indoors and I need to stay busy . So, it is water drop time. I truly am fascinated and amazed at the properties of these little tiny water drops. One never knows just how they will refract the colors or the images.
That's fishing line, other times we see fishing nets entangling sea life. Seldom is it cast off drinking straws or beverage bottles. Fishing people tend to cut off snarls and throw them into the water -- bad news for animals and fish. It is too bad, regardless. It's often unrelated to people in their homes or local environment.
