Default Flowers and raindrops

Was visiting my (future) in-laws yesterday and was able to take some shots of their garden. It had just stopped raining and the sun was out. I didn't have much time as the sun was already almost down! Here are my favorites (didn't get many good shots).
Thanks for looking.

Every time I read Cannon Point and Shoot at the end of your posts I just shake my head in disbelief. You have such a good eye, a sense of composition and the feeling for the emotion of a shot. And you get all that with a P&S. Wow. The sun coming through the tip of the flower is outta da ballpark!

Wow! These are absolutely stunning. Beautiful composure. I love the sun coming through the fence... gives it such a beautful earth sort of feeling. Lovely flowers... Very nice work.

Beautiful images again...'Raindrop' is very cool, and the Sun shining through in the first one is epic.
