It’s been raining quite a lot these last three days but when it stopped for a bit I took a wee walk in the garden. The first thing that caught my eye was the glitter of sparkling water droplets on fallen leaves.
I took a few photos. This is one of them.
What caught my attention about this one was the large droplet in the middle, surrounded by various other smaller ones.
Actually when I look at it again now it kind of looks like a mask with two eyes and a nose. Do you see that? I didn’t notice that until now.
We don’t really think much about the shape of water. As often as not it takes the shape of whatever contains it. And raindrops, I presume most of us think of as all the same shape, although they definitely fall in different sizes.
But just look at these droplets! One is huge. Way bigger than the rest. And that big one has a very irregular shape. The ones that look like eyes are almost oval but still irregular and the rest a range of circular or oval shapes of an astonishing variety of sizes.
Why should that be surprising?
Individuals are all unique. Never forget that.
