Ahh- but to my eyes? In drought ridden west, for so many years? All I see is the beautiful droplets of moisture, memory of drops clinging to leaves of growing things in times past – that once in while? Show up again – if only I ‘catch that rare moment’ when the droplets fall – not in hard hail, that rips things apart – or in biting blowling snow that freezes and kills – sometimes? If I spend o’dark thirty and near dawn time in the garden? I see the droplets, once more – a ‘night dew’ gentle kiss, that loves and sustains – but, well, long time since I’ve viewed droplets on a leaf/petal, such as this – sometimes because of my ‘indoor’ job and sometimes? Just hasn’t happened for awhile – not in this form – THANK you for posting so I can remember what it looks like!
Me as well – this year, here, looking not likely, thus far. I stopped on my way west in late January, to gaze upon Pikes Peak – which FINALLY, had the glimmers of a white glistening snow cap, that reminded me of what it looked like in my child hood from September – June, many years – and it was January before it showed up this year!
perfect colors for easter, John!
I will try to pretend that I planned it that way ! 8)
Keep falling on my head.
Much more pleasing and serene than those ACME anvils. Enjoy the pitter patter.

I hope the weather patterns even out and the rain and snow resume their former ways.

Love those drops.
Brace yourself. There are quite a few raindrops in this folder. It might be a few days before things dry off. Thanks Dan.
I’m in heaven.
What a charming photo of a fine bloom.
