Delight in the detail

One of the things my dear old Dad taught me by example, was to take pleasure in the smallest of things.
So here are some beautiful small raindrops, and yet another aphid family ( extra ).
And hot on the heels of the three funerals I mentioned recently, this morning there was news that a friend overseas is gravely ill and facing months of gruelling treatment. What a year the first year of my seventies is turning out.
Thank goodness for the small things.
