I love the rain. My favourite time to take flower shots is right after a downpour, preferably when there's still some drizzle coming down to keep the beads of rain fresh on the petals for me to photograph. Luckily for me all I have to do is open my front door and step out onto the street and I'm surrounded by the most gorgeous flowers just begging for me to capture them on film.
Yesterday afternoon I wandered around my street and photographed what I could. I love the above shot of the hibiscus for the way that you can see the beads of water on the petals, even from underneath. But I would have to say that this little plant with the water droplets perched so delicately on it's leaf was my favourite ~ it seemed to be reaching out for me to admire it.
And then there was this little guy ~ a little tuft of fluff off a gum tree that after editing looks like a strange alien lifeform or underwater plant:
