Droplets on Tiny Specks

Water vapour in the air cools down. It sticks to tiny dust and plant bits, then grows into clear round droplets.

In the picture

  1. A tiny dust speck: pale vapour dots gather around it.
  2. A small plant particle: pale vapour dots collect on its surface.
  3. A clear round droplet: liquid water has gathered into a ball around a speck.

Examples
