Following a week of torrential rain and flash flooding in Oklahoma City, I ventured out to a nearby park to reconnect with nature. The soggy terrain swallowed my hiking boots with every step, and the lush greenery of soaked grass and trees shimmered with post-rain vibrancy. The familiar scent of ozone filled the air, instantly transporting me back to childhood adventures outdoors with my family During this muddy trek, I stumbled upon a tangled pile of vibrant violet leaves, still dripping with fresh rain droplets. Twinkle of Light was an unexpected discovery that happened purely by accident. I noticed a single water droplet perfectly aligned with the sun, producing a star-like twinkle effect as sunlight pierced through the cloud cover. It was as if a fragment of the universe had landed on a leaf. Using precise macro photography techniques, I angled my lens to capture the light refraction bouncing off the droplet’s surface. Within it, you can spot the mirrored reflection of the nearby environment: emerald-green leaves, brightly colored wildflowers, and the sun's soft glow refracted into the surrounding bokeh. The result is a macro fine art image that blends light, color, and water into one magical moment.
Ideal for collectors, decorators, or anyone drawn to nature’s hidden beauty, Twinkle of Light reminds us that even after the storm, the smallest details, like a single drop of water, can shine like a star.
