There is something about rainy days that makes them special. Not only because with water life renovates itself, plants get their vital nourishment and the circle of life continues. It's also because I like watching the rain falling from the sky, creating a pattern against the trees and moisturizing the soil. I like to smell that distinctive fragrance of moss and wet grass that fills the air, and to listen to the sound of the drops falling on the leaves and creating little rivulets of water.

I concentrate on our maple tree, on its new spring leaves of a wonderful red color. Rain drops create interesting patterns and decorations like natural jewels, and the light plays with them, coming through. It's incredible what you can get if you look close, if you take time to explore, if you search...
