I had to write to you when I saw this waterdrop feet photo in yesterday's blog - I had just taken photos of my own 'accidental' water drops footprints on my counter a couple of days earlier that blew me away. That the waterdrops from washing dishes could fall in this pattern was mind numbing. So when I saw this shot, I got goose bumps all over ~ too weird a coincidence. My photo business name got started by "feet" (Footographer's Delight). There must be a great message here!
