dewdrops
Dawn's tiny pearls
Dewdrops are small droplets of water that form on surfaces overnight through condensation.
They appear on grass, leaves, and spider webs in early morning, evaporating as temperatures rise.
The word evokes freshness and delicacy: The garden sparkled with dewdrops at dawn.
Figuratively, dewdrops suggest something pristine or fleeting.
