Sun Glinting on Dew Droplets, Haddo, Aberdeenshire

This photograph barely does justice to the shimmering sight that confronted me this morning as I rounded a curve in the minor public road that runs parallel to the drive up to Haddo House.

The many beads of dew clinging to this sign, following several days of rainy, damp autumn weather, glinted like small jewels in the brilliant morning sunlight.
