In honor of our past couple of misty days, I thought I'd post some photos that play with water and light.
In most of these images -- when enlarged -- you can see another image in the water droplets.
The mist hasn't amounted to even 1/100th of an inch, but it has made it feel a little less dry.
See my post at Phillip's Natural World III about the severe drought conditions Texas is experiencing.
We're experiencing a strong northeasterly flow off of the Atlantic today. On that flow ride a few light showers and many clouds which have kept temperatures down to around 80° F. (27° C.).
The current conditions are forecast to continue until a stronger cool front arrives on Thursday evening.

Below: The water droplets stick to some plants and roll off of others. This is Purple Palace or Crevice Alumroot (Heuchera micrantha Douglas ex Lindl). It really grabs hold of the water droplets.
Below: A couple of leaves that fell in the wind. The water has completely rolled off of these Rattlebox (Crotalaria spp.) leaves.
Below: NOAA's Graphical representation of the onshore flow that is causing the misty, light showers that have overspread the eastern peninsula today.
These showers are not directly related to the non-tropical low pressure system located about 375 miles southwest of Bermuda that is producing a gale across a large area of the west-central Atlantic.
