Rain has a cleansing effect.
Making the flowers glisten.
Capturing raindrops is a little bit like chasing rainbows.
There is a small window of opportunity.
I am not proficient at either task but that does not stop me from trying.
happy gardening
Olive
Lovely photos, Olive!
ReplyDeleteLovely Olive, have a wonderful day:)
ReplyDeleteLovely, Olive. Have a wonderful day:)
ReplyDeleteNo gardening until this rain stops for a day or two... my my my... it just continues to fall.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you are quite proficient. Your pics are beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all great photographs and I especially like the first one, very nice little arrangement too.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever captured steam from a hot dish. R.H. tries that all the time and thinks he's got it but it doesn't show up well. The other night he sat out on the deck and tried to capture wind! Never could quite get that!
Beautiful my dear.....today we have sun...do you?
ReplyDeleteLove, Mona
Oh how beautiful! That's one of the reasons I like to have my houseplants live outdoors during the summer. It's so good for them and gives them such a boost!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely and you've captured the rain drops beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLove your awesome raindrops!! Great job.

ReplyDeleteA refreshing rain storm is a good thing. You did it justice!
ReplyDeleteWell, her in IL we are more than refreshed! The sun was out this am so pretty, cardinal singing, now it is raining again!
ReplyDeleteWe've had the hottest day so far (this year) today - rain promised for Thursday though. Love your beautiful dewy pictures.
ReplyDeleteOlive, I loved all your photos. You did a great job getting them. Today was a beautiful day here. We are suppose to get some rain in the next two days....but I am hoping for sunshine.xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYour plants look as if they have relished the rain - the Amaryllis is just magnificent - what a wonderful shade of red.
ReplyDeletePretty pics! I like the little puddles on the rose leaves:@)

Hey Olive; Your Flower Photos are absolutely Stunning!!! Being able to capture Flowers with Rain makes all pictures look better, in my book.
ReplyDeleteSigh, I must get out and work in my yard and with my Flowers, next week!!!
Absolutely lovely - I particularly love the first vignette.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding photography Olive!
ReplyDeleteEverything does look prettier after the rains have stopped. Your pictures prove that. It's nice to see the sunshine again and be able to get back into the yard. My husband is working on ours this morning too.
ReplyDeleteI love taking rainy photos...yours are lovely!
ReplyDeletewe have rain here today to but our spring here in Sweden have been awful Cold and windy so the Threes havent got any leaves yet BORING but we hope that the summer will be better=)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day♥

Beautiful photos, Olive! We've had tons of sunshine here, but rain is moving in today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and fabulous images, Olive. I love the wreath with succulent.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful all flowers but I too am not a snake person. Know matter how cute people think snakes are. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous shots! Raindrops always glisten so pretty .... As for snakes - ick! We have an ugly green three footer in our yard that knows no fear and he kinda scares me.
ReplyDeleteI love the cleansing affect of rain and the smell! We don't get it often here, so it's that much better. Beautiful flowers!
