Default What can you shoot between rain showers?

It has been awfully dreary around here having gone through the brown out...the leaves are for the most part gone and the grass is beginning to go brown.....snow flurries in the forecast for Thanksgiving and on Friday as well. I hate this time of year! Well I forced myself out of the bldg at lunch and trudged up a sidewalk nearby just looking down to see if there was anything at all of interest........though hard to capture on camera.....the long ornamental grasses and some broadleaf plants had water beads on them that just sparkled like diamonds......

Water drops are baller. Id brighten them all up though, and maybe up the saturation. l

You have captured these water diamonds brilliantly Patrick. The first is just like a pink beauty sitting on a bed of sparkling diamonds.
