It had been a night of heavy rain, and when I set out down Piney Woods Church Road early this afternoon, the air felt quite moist and the temperature an almost balmy upper 50s. There was no trace of a breeze, and many water droplets still clung to the tendrils, branches, and leaves of all the plants edging the roadway. I made my way slowly from one to the next, savoring plant growth transformed by the rain into artifacts of great beauty and wonder. I share today more artifacts of the watery worlds that I encountered, including several images of Russian olives in fruit.
