These water drops remind me of crystal balls because of the reflections in them.
I wonder what they would tell me if I asked them questions about my future?... :D

They'd probably say:

“The magic is inside YOU. There ain’t no crystal ball.”
Wolfdyke Dolly Parton quotes (Popular American country Singer and

or maybe...

“He who lives by the crystal ball soon learns to eat ground glass.”
Edgar R. Fiedler quotes

“Travelers are fantasists, conjurers, seers - and what they finally discover is that every round object everywhere is a crystal ball: stone, teapot, the marvelous globe of the human eye.”
Cynthia Ozick quotes

More quotes

The photo was taken on a dull rainy day. There were crystal clear drops ALL over the place. I didn't know where to start OR when to stop...photographing!

PHOTOFILTRE: Very little cropping but some noise which I cleaned at high noise removal, zero tolerance-Revived colors and sharpened only on water drops, just a tad

PS: The images/reflections i the droplets are real/natural and not a result of PP.

Thank you for visting.
