Why do I love to see rainwater on leaves so much?
Don’t know, really, but I sure do. Same with flowers actually. In fact, although we tend to think of rain as “bad weather” and have a good moan about it, rainy weather is good photography weather. There’s something about the light of an overcast sky which seems to intensify colour, but it’s how water changes the surface and the appearance of things which captures my attention.
The droplets look like jewels, sparkling, shining, and adorning the plant. Don’t you put on your best jewels for special occasions? If Nature does too, then rainy days must be special days.
Heroes Not Zombies 
I wish now that I had taken a picture of raindrops on the gorgeous Red Flash & John Peed caladiums at my back door. They’re past their peak now, but maybe I can still capture some of the magic of the silvery drops on the leaves before they’re gone. Thanks for inspiring me…
