Behold The Waterdrop As Our Subject
I don't know precisely what it is that fascinates me about waterdrops. Maybe it's because that in such a simple thing lies such complexity -- the shape of the drop, the way it plays on the surface or hangs from beneath, the manner in which it serves as funhouse mirror with its mad refractions, the fact that waterdrops form differently on different surfaces (flower petal, edge of a blade, skin, the forehead of a chimpanzee, the lip of a North Korean rocket booster, the gall bladder of a 59-year-old-man).
Such a simple thing.
But so very complex.
So, today, an ode to that elegance. I give a single waterdrop! Ta-da!
(EDIT: Anybody else having Flickr problems? Slow loads, or error pages? I'm getting 'em.)
