Amano in Reverse

I took this photo at the Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray, Florida this past Sunday. It seemed to me to be a terrestrial equivalent to the lush aquatic worlds created by Takashi Amano. In Amano’s case, spheres of CO2 form on aquatic mosses under intense light in aquaria. Here It is a water droplet, held almost perfectly spherical by moss growing on the base of a bonsai tree.
