Flying Saucers!

First, click on this image so you can see it larger. It does look a bit like a huge fleet of flying saucers. Well, except that they are not exactly round. The are water drops on the windshield of the car. It was raining very gently today, and so the drops didn't get really large and then run down the windshield. They were smaller and just sat there on the glass. By the way, each water drop is a lens, and you can see, if you look carefully, the black panes of the garage door windows, with the white mullions in an "X" shape.

These look like rejects in a breast implant factory.

Sam enjoys how patterns in nature have So many analogues, from droplets to evaporating carbon dioxide on the Martian polar caps. Of course, there are no mullions on Mars... .
