raindrops bathing in sunlight
fluid life of water
an entirely mutable dance
raining from the sky up high
seeping into earth below
quenching thirst of tree and bee
flower deer you and me
all the food and drinks
we eat
released again
to our earth beneath
an entirely mutable
and
precious
dance

this years subject is 'water'.
Water is entirely precious, essential and part of every bit of our bodies
and all life.
To deeply appreciate what water is to our lives, is to care for its health.
As I write this post, there are over 4,000 blogs that will be honoring water in one way or another.
You can join in, visit: Blog Action Day, sign up, and honor water on your blog, in your way.
visit: Nature's Footstep to enjoy macro photography!

ReplyDeleteTammie so good to see you over on NF Macro - I love viewing your photography and these water droplet photos are lovely the way the light catches them. I didn't know that about the 15th.

I love the water droplets, I have just to photograph them with my small camera.
ReplyDeleteToday, with the Blog Action day, I feature a giant drop of water. A river I love.
The second picture is amazing!! So lovely colour and light! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love these photographs and what a good post to honor water.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteTammie, I never fully realized what a magnifier a water droplet is! Your macros are even more macro seen through the drops.
ReplyDeleteGreat macros, Tammy..... OH--how we need WATER.. We are so desperate for rain here... The past couple of days, we had a chance--but it went all around us... So frustrating since we are having such a horrible drought.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures of the water.. We take it for granted, don't we?
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a tiny miracle, Tammy!

ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
So lovely Tammie! I am a water sign through and through. Even images of water drops make me feel as though I've plunged myself into the glorious ocean. Thank you for the soul swim today. I'm off to think of ways I can honor water on my own blog today. :)
ReplyDeleteNice Tammie. Like crystal spheres!
ReplyDeleteTammie,
ReplyDeleteYou always capture such Magic in your photos! These photos look as if you had a conversation with the water drops. You asked them what their true essence was, and they showed it to you for some perfect photos!
In honor of water...perfect subject
ReplyDeletesoft autumn colors.
Well done.
These photos are spectacular, Tammie. And you are right - water is such a precious gift. We experienced such terrible droughts earlier this season. Sometimes we take things such as water for granted - and it's not until we are deprived of something so simple yet vital that we realize just how wonderful it truly is. Theresa
ReplyDeletefantastic images tammie...and words of wisdom for us to ponder.
ReplyDeleteStunning photographs... in a couple, I thought I was looking at human skin, but knew of course, it was leaf-skin. Nicely disorienting!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog great weekend

You say it so well in picture and word. That is life itself, that water. How we crave it. And how we will fight for it if we must....
ReplyDeleteI'm far too late for blog action day... But these beautiful, jewel-like water droplets encapsulate so perfectly what water is to our lives.
