When rain falls from the sky our world is very beautiful. Colours create themselves and step forward to greet us. Light from the sun steps back behind clouds. Clouds sit closer to our earth giving freely without distinction their precious load, even if it means their own dissolution. For by giving, and giving and giving, selflessly they rise higher and higher. A lesson for life, no? When one encounters a great obstacle perhaps one ought to remember the example given us from the clouds. In order to rise above their obstacle, the mountain, they change their form so selflessly. By shedding their very being they gift life to our world and eventually continue on their way.

Ah! Nature in its many facets. I particularly liked the blue translucent leaf which is #5 in the series. Leicaroque · 2007-01-06: 10:40

They are all really great. I especially like #12 something about the contrast almost looks like two seperate pictures. Beautiful. OddlyEnough · 2007-01-06: 11:33

My favorite was the cattails, it's so clear. natalienoods · 2007-01-06: 12:32
