Raindrops

I can't help but notice how nature uses raindrops as little embellishments to adorn every element in her landscape. Making a leafless tree in spring twinkle as if covered in Christmas lights, attaching a sparkling jewel to each tiny new flower just beginning to bloom or creating interest in a puddle that would otherwise go unnoticed. The soothing, rhythmic pitter patter of raindrops falling fresh from the cloudy sky, announcing their arrival as they cling to the beauty below, some gathering together to form reflective palettes of rippling water on the cool, moist ground. Simple little raindrops briefly enhancing the splendor of nature.  

So much beauty to be enjoyed on an otherwise grey and cloudy day. 

Raindrops, one of natures perfect but temporary embellishments.
