On Thursday, the weather kept changing. It was raining and then it wasn't. Back and forth. Meeko doesn't enjoy the rain so much any more. When he was a puppy, he didn't mind any kind of weather. So I waited for a gap in the rain to go for a walk with him. When I got out on our front steps, I had to run back in for my camera. The leaves on the front porch all had these gorgeous, big fat water droplets on them. It was a moment of magic.

❤ A big thank you to you all! ❤
The sight of raindrops on leaves is like freezing time; somehow you feel like you're floating, gives you the illusion that ether is tangible, that there is no rush in appreciating beauty --- as if these beauty aren't passing. As if you can just stand there and be at awe until you drop. As you said - magical. But sigh, there's art to do.
ReplyDeleteWhich is also magical. Only a little back-breaking. Congratulations on your Etsy account, Kathleen! Count more years! :)
You are so right, Perrine. They were like ephemeral boats with crystal cargo. So nice to see you here. :)
DeleteTaking time to notice the raindrops on the leaves...Priceless.
