Bright beads of rain sprinkled down yesterday morning, covering the leaves with fat silver droplets.
Each globe of water – a little world spinning in its own galaxy.
Some of the drops teeter towards the edge of the leaf, but hold fast.
A special gravitational force field keeping them suspended.
Completely wonderous this world of water. All the living things in the garden swallowing every last drop. Here the Pride of Madeira continues her purple show.
One stalk competes for attention in its own way.
Buck ventured out, but no further than the porch.
Wyatt has no use for rain and stayed inside.
Here below is the picture I didn’t take of the youngest member of the cat posse, strolling inside soaking wet after being out all morning. Walking, not running through the cat door, smelling of grass and spring. Trailing water, and dirt, and leaves across the kitchen floor. Ignoring my cries of protest when she jumped on the couch and shook herself off like a big dog. Jumping off again when I approached with a towel. All that water clinging to the top layer of her long fur.
Have you been HERE ? If you enjoy writing and words you’ll want to go this minute.

Amazing photographs, Mary Ann. You just keep getting better and better at this. I am in awe.
The link didn’t work for me. How UNUSUAL!
Love these photos. I’m going to try the link again after a white russian.
That CAT! oh, it’s a good thing I can’t pick up that little kitty cat!
lovely rose.
oh my gosh oh my gosh!!! I have started taking an online digital photo class- hoping to learn more about using my camera (which I have had for years) and it is through trying to take conscious photos that I better recognize and appreciate the quality of yours. I keep talking about your extraordinary eye for photos and I will continue. It isn’t until I try doing something myself that I truly grasp the art and craft that goes into a beautiful production (you should have seen me in an adult ballet class years ago – I’m glad no one did).
I have said this all before but you keep eliciting it over and over with those OH MY GOSH!!! images. Exquisite!
did you use a macro setting or your telephoto zoomed way in? I keep spewing words but they can’t match my awe & admiration.
whew!
Gorgeous photos!!
The most luscious photographs possible; I feel like I’m right there with you.
