Description
The roof of my car can be an interesting place, given the right set of circumstances. After a good rain is one of those times.

For your edification:
Raindrops are presented as teardrop shaped by popular culture. Actually, real raindrops do not look like this (until they have ceased to be rain by splattering on a window, say). Small raindrops are spherical; larger ones assume a shape more like that of a hamburger bun. Of this there is no question.
Yet, everything from advertisements to (gulp) The Weather Channel, artistically represents raindrops as teardrops. A television weatherman was once asked why he did this despite the fact that he (presumably) knew better. "Because," he responded, "it is good communication." Sigh... it is better to communicate good information than to offer misinformation in the name of good communication.

Beautiful shot. The Dof adds a lot. As to the text, I prefer to think of the teardrop to be a universal symbol of rain. If we were to replace them with hamburgers we would be as justified in replacing all the little valentine hearts with illustrations with four chambers. That's my view of it anyway.
TwoPynts
That's a good perspective Librarian 1 and I agree about the hearts. As for the rain, well, I would love to see a bunch of little hamburgers on the weatherman's map next time I turn on the TV, but that's just me... ;)

Excellent macro shot /dof. Suppose you have to polish your car to get this - mine just has grimy sheen when it rains.
