The sun came out briefly in the early morning, and since I knew that it wasn't likely to last, the light gave me an idea, and I headed outside to see if I might actually capture what I was thinking. Armed with the not-quite-so-new 85mm micro, I started searching for suitable refractive rain droplets clinging to leaves and flowers to put both the sharpness of the lens and the steadiness of my hands to the test. Both elements of the equation did just fine, happily enough, but as I was about to wrap up the evaluation, I remembered something I'd wanted to check on earlier. In the wilder stretches of what passes for a wildflower garden, I planted some Mayapples that came from a neighbor's patch of these more-Midwesterners. I've seen members of the Podophyllum peltatum clan in the woods of Pennsylvania and Indiana, but I've never spotted the shade loving plant in our forests. However, they're certainly happy in our garden, as evidenced by the raindrop-dappled white blossoms. Too bad P. peltatum isn't bringing along its oft-touted companion. Further west, Mayapples and Morel Mushrooms are quite the pairing. Would that I could also grow Morels!
