127/365: "Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness." ~ Eckhart Tolle

Last night we had a thunder storm, followed by much-needed rain. I slept with the window open, drinking in the wonderful fragrance of wet earth and plants! This morning I went out and took pictures of droplets clinging to everything, and then I remembered the wild cucumber flowers! These are so beautiful and at a macro level, the smooth petals reveal themselves to be quite fuzzy! I wanted to see what a blossom would look like with raindrops on it, and I was not disappointed! The fuzzy surface you see here is covered with tiny droplets of water and creates a wonderful texture! Below is a picture of a dry blossom so you can see the fuzzy surface! :)
