Water holding on for dear life

After the rains have gone, the leaves hold onto the remaining droplets, seemingly for dear life.

Or maybe it’s the other way around, the water clinging to the surface of the leaves, perhaps in the hope of delaying its inevitable absorption or evaporation.

Maybe that’s why they call it the circle of life. Maybe that’s why we run outside as the skies clear for a fleeting glimpse at a seemingly simple scene.

Because nothing is ever as simple as it first seems, especially out here.
