Raindrops and Rose Buds

This photo was from last year's summer roses in Dustin's garden. After a rain shower I snapped some photos. I caught the raindrops on these rose buds. Amazing what nature has to give each of us. I always look for beauty all around me. At times these rose buds are a sign from Dustin. Other times the drops are more like tears. Either way, I try to see and appreciate the beauty in life and those little things. Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. ~Helen Keller

@CarolDM If we miss the little things around us, the big things lose their meaning.

Small things, small moments and events at times make us very happy and well sometimes more cherished than the big ones! The raindrops and the Rose buds look great !

a beautiful picture 'n e'en more so the quote from ms. keller. we quite oft focus'n what 'tis not within our grasp, thus missin' all that 'tis beautiful 'n pure 'round. such's these lovely rain droplets. water, the life force all need. i see such's a promise fer better days, more beauty to be witnessed.
