Rather Rectangular Orb Holes

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see orbs with rather rectangular holes in them. 

Gradient-Color Triangle "Steals the Show" from Orb Holes

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  On this day I got (in almost all of 700+ consecutive photos) orbs with holes that were almost rectangular, except for a curved top.  Below are some examples, starting with a photo of a triangular-shaped veil-like structure, one that has a gradient color stretching from purple to green to orange.

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background. On this day I got what I sometimes call a "pattern tour," in which I see a series of different orb patterns appearing, each pattern appearing for many consecutive photos. One pattern was the one shown below:
