Wither Not ~

"There is an eternal love between
 the water drop and the leaf.
When you look at them,
you can see that they
 both shine
 out of happiness."
Mehmet Murat ildan
*  *  *
And he shall be like a tree
 planted by the rivers of water,
 that brings forth his fruit in his season;
 his leaf also shall not wither;
 and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1:3

The simplicity of water drops is so beautiful....The Psalm verse has always been one of my favorites. We use it lots in our retreats in the mountains....

You're sharing beautifully, and, as usual you are filled with a true spiritual gift and sharing it out and about the world.

Love you.

Lovely Sharp image of the leaf and water drops. The image lends itself beautifully to both the quote and the Psalm.

This image is even better when "embiggened"

And that verse is a fave of mine too.

Susan, this photo is truly truly amazing. I enlarged and enlarged a second time and it is perfect. each drop each vein, the edges of the leaf, so sharp and clear and beautiful. and it looks like the leaf was tiny...super shot on this one

i like the leaves on the tree.
come november, there will be one grand wind and rain that will do a good job of leaf blowing. and then the limbs will be bare again.
