A Galaxy of Raindrops

It was raining out when I left the house for my walk yesterday. The first thing I saw was the famous Japanese maple tree, with raindrops clinging to all the branches. I was going to ignore the scene, because I have photographed individual drops on the branches before. But I decided to look around for a bit and saw this view. There were so many drops in this one image, it felt as if I was looking at a galaxy of stars. The trick was to move around until the the background was as dark as possible, and then the drops really became more obvious.
