I liked that word.

It's been raining for a number of days now, with lots of lightning and thunder around and I haven't had a chance to go outside and take any photos. Yesterday the showers stopped for half an hour or so to allow me to capture the rain drops on the plants and flowers.
I didn't intend to post another item on here so soon, but this photo caught my eye when I uploaded them and was browsing through on my computer.. And I like it a lot. I hope you see the beauty in it too. (Otherwise I'll look rather silly posting a photo of shrubs )

(I can't control most of this, I wish I could, I did do the exposure compensation though. Thought I'd post it anyway, for a change. )
