Raindrops on . . . branches

So when you live in the woods and it's raining, what do you photograph? Drops. Our ace tv weatherman was right on the mark with this forecast as it has been raining steadily for most of the day. But raindrops are really quite beautiful. Their round shape refracts light in a magical sort of way. When they are out of focus, they resemble streetlights glistening on a foggy night. But when they are in focus, they just keep building in size until they can't hang on anymore, and then they fall to the ground to leave room for the next one.

Although the drops in the background eventually fall, too, we don't notice them so much, because our attention is held by the one in focus, the one that all the others look to, the one that has it all together, or does it?

Now, not to go out on a limb or anything, but which one are you?
