Dewdrops

On our recent trip to Big Sur, most of our time there was spent inside reading while the fog stayed close to shore and blocked our view of just about everything.  One of these mornings I became obsessed with the dewdrops, and walked all over the place trying to capture their sparkle.

On one part of a trail that went through a small grove of redwoods, I stood still and listened to the water drops plopping down on other leaves, branches and the ground.  I realized then that that is one of the most serene and beautiful sounds on the planet.

I loved the way the dewdrops clung to leaves, vines, flowers, branches and stems.

And I loved how pearly and white they looked in certain kinds of light.

"Every dew-drop and rain-drop had a whole heaven within it."  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Our flowers were absolutely stunning and EVERYONE commented on them (especially the globes and bouquet) and were thoroughly impressed to hear that everything was grown in your own garden.

Everything came together so beautifully on the day and the flowers perhaps above everything else just epitomised what we wanted to achieve, which was a highly personal, natural and unforced wedding. They will alsaaaadfo, along with the stunning setting, have contributed to some fabulous photographs that we can't wait to see.

To what shall I liken the world?
Moonlight, reflected in a dewdrop
Shaken from a crane's bill.
– Dogen Zenji, 1250

Oh that reminds me of a book we've been reading at our house - Horton Hears a Who!!! Have you read it? It's a Doctor Seuss book where an elephant hears a whole family of who's who live on a speck of dust - a whole world - on a speck of dust!!! Just like your dew drop - what if our world is also a dew drop to someone else??? :) Cool hey!
