Default The Wonder Of Nature's Gentle Rain

Along with the thrill of watching the vegetable garden bursting into life, is the beautiful fresh aroma in the air after a shower of rain, and the many beaded leaves, flowers and objects that are out there just waiting to be captured on camera.

This one I found quite fascinating, as the sun made the leaf look transparent and the droplets on the upper side of the leaf could clearly be seen on the under side.

It was most interesting to see how the rain droplets formed on each point of the serrated leaf on the right

You have captured the water well here Pauline. I really like that first shot with the texture of the leaves coming through. Cheers, Bernz
