Raindrop Obsession

Do you have this obsession like I do to take photos after the rain and try to capture the perfect raindrop photo?
We had a steady downpour of rain last Friday morning and I couldn't wait for it to stop so I could go outside and try to capture the raindrops through my lens.

Here are some flowers from the borage plant with the raindrops about to drip off the petals.  These blooms fit in perfectly with Smiling Sally's Blue Monday.

Raindrops are collecting on the large canna leaf and some on the red petals.  The last plant, an Angel Trumpet, is a volunteer that is growing in the garden.  I haven't grown this plant for several years once I found out it was poisonous to animals and children.
Mosaic Monday was created by The Little Red House. You are encouraged to create and share a mosaic/collage of some photos. Why don't you stop by and see what some other participants have created. Then try creating a mosaic photo of your own and join in the fun. You just might get addicted too!
 
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you can take a moment to leave a comment and say hi.

  3. I'm growing borage as well. And it just started to flower this week and I took my 4 year old out to look at it because of the pretty star shape petals. So this morning upon browsing your post, my 4 year old comes up to me and proclaims, "Hey, that looks like borage!" I answered, "That's because it is!!"

    I am so excited that I can impart this knowledge on her. Lovely photos. :)

  15. Your raindrop photos are wonderful Linda.
    Do you attend the OHA convention at all? My district is hosting in Barrie next month and I wouldn't be surprised if many bloggers will be there without knowing each other.

  16. Hi Judith, no I don't attend the OHA convention. There is a garden club in the city closest to me but I don't belong to it.

  17. Lovely photos. How I wish we would have some rain in the secret valley. It's been weeks now and everything is going brown and looking parched.

  21. Absolutely beautiful, you captured raindrops so wonderfully! We could use rain here in the mountains. It has been so hot, dry, and uncomfortable. My garden could use rain showers!
