Accenting Water

I have always had a thing for water, particularly rain; call it an affinity if you must. Rain is just so beautiful, not only in the moment, but the imagery it leaves behind. If an area is sheltered nicely, it can leave behind breathtaking water art where you have an image that allows your mind to run rampant with imagination. In other places, it gives a nice sheen that makes the pavement shine like starlight. It also gives a nice accent to the vegetation as everything begins to look a little more healthy, spry, and happy. 

In the picture above, I was left impressed by how green and lush it looked; I just had to snap a photo of it. As I look at it even more, especially in regards to lighting, I started to think about how much of a difference the wet lighted foliage looked in comparison to the dryer. Water provides a nice catalyst to be accented by light. The only thing I wonder is: how much of a difference in emotion and health does this accented water provide for the image? Surely I would have missed out on a nice piece of vegetation without the glistening water calling my attention, but is the greenery actually happier like I want to believe?
