Perhaps there is a tiny ecosystem on the underside of every leaf.

I appreciate mechanisms like drip hoses, which minimize waste while delivering water to the roots of a plant or tree.

But the last couple of days, I've sprayed water up and down the trunks and leafy branches of trees and shrubs. The leaves seem to quiver with pleasure. The water may renew the silvery gray lichens that birds will nibble on and where tiny insects may find shelter.
