GIF: Goblet of Spring Rain.

[full_metal_ox]

Against a background of blurred-focus green foliage, a black tree branch bedecked with five-petaled white flowers and tiny new green leaves rests in a clear glass wine goblet two-thirds full of water, the twig tips submerged in the water. Rain is falling, drops splashing into the goblet as if it were set out to be filled thereby.)

During the first few months of 2021, as quarantine wore on, I was compulsively drawn to a version of this image that included the rippling raindrops; a fresh cool draught of clear rain and new green growth seemed to be the most appetizing thing imaginable.

This image being one that’s undergone a lot of gankage and mutation (including the addition of the animated rain), I managed to track down the original: “Garden of Glass” from 6 March 2010 by UgurDoyduk (https://www.deviantart.com/ugurdoyduk/art/Garden-of-Glass-156364361):
