It rained last night but when I looked out, the sun was shining and suddenly I couldn't wait to get out there and find my picture! I saw that there were tiny droplets all over the grass, and taking a nose-close look, the magical scene was right there! These droplets are merely a glint, the grass blades extremely small, it just amazes me the world one can see through a macro lens! Incredible!
