I am always in amazement of the water repellent properties of some leaves. Walking back home in the rain yesterday, I spotted this leaf with a nice row of droplets.

Morning light leaks from under the sea of clouds, illuminating the mountain surface and sunrise brightly. The sun will rise soon.
Mt. Tsubakuro is a mountain in the Hida Mountains at an altitude of 2,763 m. It's one of my favorite mountains.

Wappa Dam, Sunshine Coast Queensland.
"The Wappa Dam is a mass concrete gravity arch dam with earth-fill abutments and an un-gated spillway across the South Maroochy River that is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for supply of potable water for the Sunshine Coast region.
Completed in 1963, the concrete dam structure is 24 metres (79 ft) high and 138 metres (453 ft) long. The 12-thousand-cubic-metre (420×103 cu ft) dam wall holds back the 4,614-megalitre (1,015×106 imp gal; 1,219×106 US gal) reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of 69.7 square kilometres (26.9 sq mi) with a mean annual rainfall of approximately 1,700 millimetres (67 in) that includes much of the Maroochy River, the dam creates an unnamed reservoir with a surface area of 74 hectares (180 acres). The un–gated spillway has a discharge capacity of 1,420 cubic metres per second (50,000 cu ft/s).[1] Initially managed by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, management of the dam was transferred to SEQ Water in July 2008 as part of a water security project in the South East Queensland region, known as the South East Queensland Water Grid.[5] The accompanying water treatment plant is also managed by SEQ Water.

A large family of Water Smartweed (Polygonum amphibium) basks in a calm shoreline, sending its pink spires skyward. As the scientific name suggests, it is one of few plants which has adapted to both land and water environments.
These rocks are normally caressed and covered by the current of a backcountry desert river. During low flows, they breach the surface of pools filled with silt and debris carried from higher elevations as well as minerals, microorganisms, and massive rock falls carried from flash floods into the river's bed.
A slick blanket of incandescent colors, created by the decomposition of all that settling miasma, nestle up to their exposed faces to give audience to winter's dimming light.
