Art thou mad?!

One stood watching the other.....in the rain.....one with an umbrella, the other on his knees in the wet grass.

"What are you doing?" Asked umbrella man.

The other looked up, camera in hand....."taking pictures!"

" I can see that" said umbrella man, "but what of?"

"Grass....wet grass......."said the other as if explaining to a child.

A look quickly passed over umbrella mans face, "Right...." he mumbled.

The other heard the gentle scrape of leather soles turning slowly on the path, the soft crunch of grit under foot as umbrella man walked away. He turned his head to watch the beautiful crystal rain drops cascade down the black of the umbrella as the stranger walked away.

Through the camera, in the inky depths of shadowed grass, diamonds shone. Beauty and wonder lay at his feet, there, amongst the insect cathedrals, was a world of such richness.....all you had to do was look!
