Yesterday morning, I took dozens of photographs of insects in motion on a blooming Cleyera along Piney Woods Church Road. This morning, I photographed no insects whatsoever, and took relatively few pictures, for that matter. But among them was this gem: a drop of water clinging to the underside of a Cleyera leaf, reflecting many other leaves. I love gazing into water droplets; they are vessels of stillness and peace, points of tranquility in our daily lives. They are one of the morning’s greatest gifts.
