How do I capture raindrops
in early morning light
as rays of sunshine burst
through misty haze?
From solitary shafts they hang
and fronds of lavender
from leaves bowed down
with weighted drops
that glisten in my garden.
A gift from nature
to capture me
And yet, despite my frantic haste
with camera and a steady hand
I can barely see them now
in these images I’ve made.
