Shower of diamonds

                     

I'm sitting outside after a heavy downpour. The sun has come out and I'm  watching the rain drops glistening as they hang onto the leaves of the hibiscus plant in our front garden  The sparkle is one that no diamonds could match.  Suddenly one of  the sunbirds that have been flitting from one branch to another lands on the plant I am watching and stirs up all the droplets. Suddenly, just for an instant, there is a shower of light!

I'm so thankful for looking up at the right time, and for being able to appreciate this wonderful miracle that nature has provided for me.
