Jeweled Mechanic's Cloth-Speechless Sunday (late and with a touch of speech)

Early mornings are my favorite times to visit ActiveRain and post whatever has been brewing in my head overnight. It’s lovely to live in a south facing property in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the sun comes up over my left shoulder when I’m at the computer. That’s what happened yesterday when I was typing the post about LinkedIn’s sleep survey. I glanced over my shoulder and thought…perfect, there’s my Speechless Sunday post out on the deck. Everyone would like jeweled mechanic’s cloth, right?

Even though I did capture the photos, I missed posting them in favor of getting some sparkle of a different sort back into the kitchen! Our deck has ½” squared mechanic’s cloth to keep the dogs from plunging 25 feet into the backyard. Yesterday when I saw the sun shine through the droplets of dew on the mechanic’s cloth, I grabbed the camera and started shooting. The closer I got the more interesting it looked. It seems that several beads of dew settled onto a strand of Silverbear’s fur and the colors in the drops turned out to have a decided violet cast to them.

Here’s the tardy entry for Speechless Sunday…only with a little speech to it. Jeweled Mechanic’s cloth sounds like it would be a great upgrade for a deck, doesn’t it?
