A footnote on spraying

A couple of days ago, after finishing with the dancing water noticed at reference 1, I chucked the water out of the bowl, uphill onto the start of the back lawn. As one would expect, most of the water stayed together, taking a fairly flat trajectory to the ground. But what I did not expect was that a trick of the bright midday light meant that I saw a large cloud of very small water droplets above that trajectory, maybe up two or three feet above. And this was without any coughing or sneezing.

That said, the only droplets I can remember coming out of mouths is when we had sat too near the front at the theatre. Theatrical voice projection seems to produce a lot of them, rather big ones at that.
