My plan with this blog is to post photos of random naturalesque things I encounter. I also wanted this to be a phone photo blog-- no fancy DSLR here, just my Galaxy S3. Expect lots of macro shots.
Water also has a high level of surface tension. This means that the molecules on the surface of the water are not surrounded by similar molecules on all sides, so they're being pulled only by cohesion from other molecules deep inside. These molecules cohere to each other strongly but adhere to the other medium weakly. One example of this is the way that water beads up on waxy surfaces, such as leaves or waxed cars. Surface tension makes these water drops round so they cover the smallest possible surface area.
