Sue, please continue to post when you can, and continue to work on your MFA! I'm on semi-holiday from photography for awhile myself, so I understand about time demands from other things.

Thanks Rik and Gordon. Yes, I do believe the seed at the bottom of the referenced page is what is on the raindrop. Cropped from the original image, the "seed" did have the appearance of a very tiny insect.

my hard drive (external) crashed with my images of f-stop so I think I lost mine. I might have a backup on cd. When I had him, he visited the Amish and went on a buggy ride and did a bit of farming.
