Clarity through a Drop of Water

FULL SIZE | ON FLICKR

Everything in this image is distorted. Everything, but a small circle; the prism of a drop of water hanging from a leaf. I could use this opportunity to make some philosophical statement about the nature of water. How its integrality to life gives focus in an otherwise distorted world. How, in the desert of life, a single drop of water means everything.

But I won't. I will reserve my usual self-important grandiosity for a picture that isn't an interesting optical illusion and nothing more, interesting as it is.
