In a Drop of Rain

Went out into the yard early to catch the light on the Japanese Maple. It had rained during the night, so there were still drops hanging from the branches.

The Japanese Maple with almost all of its blazing red leaves gone.

Three drops of rain on one maple branch.

The surprising reflection of our house in the closeup of one drop.

There may be a reflection of the pond in one of these raindrops on the leaves of a California Poppy.
