After overnight rain, I set out down Piney Woods Church Road, noticing how the flow of water was already changing the newly-graded road surface, forming shallow channels where the water flowed, and excavating new potholes (or exhuming old ones?).  One particular tulip poplar leaf caught my attention.  On its underside were perched several minute water droplets, like temporary worlds.  I saw a tiny black form swimming in one of the droplets; I suspect that a microscope would reveal many more.
