I grabbed by camera and was waiting for the sun to come up and as it started to shine over things you could see everything was dew soaked. I was just casually walking around and then noticed this dragonfly. I thought it was dead and was frosted over. I took a picture of it and only then was when I realized it was just covered in dew.

It was a very neat thing to watch.
