Spring Puddle Raindrops

Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) after the rain on Sunday. The colors were so rich.
“The Japanese word “momiji” is sometimes applied to this tree in its native land. The word is said to have two meanings, both of them appropriate for the description of this wonderful tree: “baby’s hands” and “becomes crimson leaves.” Arbor Day Foundation website
I got to be the passenger Wednesday night.
So many lights to capture in the night.
The bright light top left is on the new TRYP Hotel, (perhaps from their rooftop restaurant I read about? )

Monday afternoon
We need rain but it’s coming so fast and furious on Tuesday, it’s running off and forming problems on roadways, causing flooding in some areas.

When I came home from school on Friday, I found the unraked leaves with raindrops on the undersides of some of them. I saw the orange tree leaves glowing like embers, with the water drops at their tips.
My driveway needs to be raked.
But if it were raked, I would have missed these jewels.
The heart shaped leaves are from the Eastern Redbud tree.
Here is an updated article from Happy DIY Home about the care for your Redbud trees.
the fronts of the leaves are wet all over. The backs of the leaves, the water beads up.
Below, a single leaf on the Eastern Redbud that Ginny planted as a memorial to my parents. A lone water drip at the tip.

The weight of the raindrops
bent the Pansy’s face to the ground.
Petals like velvet.
