Thanks for the comments. Amazing how little as a six inch change in focus change alter the impact of an image. I realized as well when posting, the top one had the greatest impact because of way the water flowed in the background against the dark green and as well, the delicateness of the spiderweb holding on against such an onslaught of water. All in all, since Friday last, we received (like it was some kind of special gift), 11.68 inches (29.7 cm) of rain. It's a wonder we didn't all float away (and some did in the river basin areas).
Even realizing the differential, I thought they both made a pretty good visual haiku. I only posted the jade plant in conjunction because of the richness of the water coating and dripping from its leaves.
