Diamond Residue from Tears

Diamond Residue from Sam's "
Originally uploaded by juliejordanscott

I was reviewing my photos on Flickr and came across this one. I adore this photo for so many reasons.

Right now, I feel like the droplets covering the pine tree leaves could be indicative of all the tears I have cried since I discovered Sam's diagnosis.

Then I step back and really look and see the beauty there.

One of Sam's Asperger quirks is his fascination with Car Washes. Sometimes when I have no desire to go to the carwash, I will turn the sprinkler on and he sits in the car and watches the water fall onto the windshield and the sunroof. I noticed this morning this event left diamond-water-droplets on the pine tree. Sam gives me many blessings, including this.
