Rose Hip in the Rain

Funny how sometimes you can see the world in a raindrop!

Taking this shot was a bit of a balancing act. You can see the reflection of my umbrella in the rose hip. It was a Scotch mist kind of rain. I tried to protect my camera and myself with the umbrella, but there was a bit of a breeze and all but the top of my head got wet.

My camera is supposed to have some weather resistance, but I was often wiping it and especially the front of the lens with a microfiber cloth I kept in a plastic bag in my pocket.

Trying to shoot raindrops, I often knocked the drops off in the process of juggling the umbrella while shooting with the camera.

I'm looking forward to the sunny day we have forecast today! :-)
