A Yellowish-Orange Orb Veil

Photo date: April 1, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary water drops falling against a back background. In addition to a drippy water drop on the left and a water drop on the right, we see a strange yellowish-orange object I call an orb veil. These objects tend to have very distinctive shapes with spiky edges, but in this case the orb veil seems to resemble the head of a dog.

See my posts labeled "orb veil" for numerous other examples of this phenomenon. These orb veils are normally whitish colored, but sometimes are orange colored. This is the first one I have seen with a yellowish-orange color.
