The skies blessed us with rain here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I spent time noticing the clean sparkle on the leaves and flowers as I walked my property.  Connecting to my inner photographer is one of my goals for this mindfulness challenge and I delighted in getting up close to focus on these raindrop jewels on this purple smoke bush…each one reflecting its own world on its crystal dome.  I breathed in deep the gift of the clean, fresh rain and felt the earth swallow gratitude for each thirst-quenching drop.  Namaste…  Yogamama Meels
