Sometimes I don’t have to venture far to capture images. I took this shot recently of a flower growing out of one of the hosta plants in my front yard as the rain was falling.
Simple colors and shapes and the sparkle of raindrops—photography doesn’t always have to be complicated. The challenge is to slow down, to really see the world around us, and to recognize its inherent beauty.

Hosta never had it so good as to be captured by you! Lovely!
Thanks, Molly. I planted some hostas last year just to have some low-maintenance greenery in my front yard. It was a pleasant and unexpected surprise when I saw them flower for the first time.
I can’t ever see enough blossoms with water drops on them – great photo, Mike.
This has been a really rainy year in my area, Dan, and I have had lots of chances to see drenched flowers as well as the pretty rain drops. Most often I have been trying to keep from getting soaked myself and so have not stopped as often to take photos as I should have.
