Studded with jewels - dew beautifying everything around

Rains have been odd this year, with several cyclones and depressions in the Bay of Bengal bringing in untimely rain. However, this did bring some silver lining - the fine drizzle worked at beautifying everything in it's path, almost like lending the Midas touch.
