This past week we have had an amazing amount of rain. It has not been a single, prolonged storm, but instead has been a series of bands of heavy rain.
The rain slowed down a little yesterday morning, so I popped over to the garden of my neighbor and fellow photographer Cindy Dyer to see what was in bloom. My eye was immediately drawn to a gorgeous pinkish lily in her side garden and to some pear-shaped tomatoes on her front landing. The raindrops still glistening on both of the subjects seemed to add to their beauty and interest.
Thanks, Cindy for planting such photogenic species.

I love these photos! The raindrops add a touch of whimsy. Benjamin, on the other hand, wants to go back and see the snake & fish again! Thank-you, Mr. Mike!!
I love Benjamin’s reaction–it’s just what I would have expected. Birds and bugs and snakes and spiders seem to attract his attention more than flowers.
I love the drops against the soft color, Mike. Great images.
One of the cool things about shooting on overcast days is that it tends to soften and saturate the colors, unlike the bright sunlight that sometimes washes out the colors and produces harsh shadows.
Nice tomatoes with the water drops, Mike!
Love the raindrops, nurturing life in the plants and flowers. M 🙂
