... Caught In Droplets.
We've had so much rain recently that idea of trying to get a reflection or refraction in a raindrop almost made me give up!
So, I had a rethink, found my little hand mirror, dropped a couple of water drops onto it and found the best reflection I could on the garden table.
Got some with refraction too, but both bondog61 and I liked this one the best.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Popped out in car just after it stopped raining, just loved the water droplets on the wing mirror. So had to capture them and Me too with my Minnie Mouse phone cover.
Water drops on my windshield for the Smile on Saturday group topic: Caught in droplets." Happy Saturday! I found this week's topic quite difficult.
One weekend I went to visit friends in Kallista in the Dandenong Ranges to the East of Melbourne. In their garden they grow Nasturtiums.
Much was my surprise and delight upon reviewing my photos from that day on my large computer screen to discover that I had caught the reflection of the blue sky, clouds and overhanging Nasturtium leaf in the droplets basking in the sun! I was amazed to have captured this amazing phenomenon with my camera!
Nasturtium is the common name for Tropaeolum, which is also known commonly as Nasturtian. Nasturtium translates literally as "nose-twister" or "nose-tweaker". It is a genus of roughly eighty species of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants. Native to South and Central America, the genus includes several very popular garden plant. The Nasturtium's leaves and flowers are edible: the leaves having a hot onion-like taste and the flowers a sweetness.
Kallista is a pretty little village in te heart of the Dandenong Ranges with an appoximate population of 1,400 people. Along with the other towns of the Dandenong Ranges, Kallista is celebrated for its picturesque natural setting, wealth of heritage and luxury houses and gardens, and country atmosphere all within commuting distance to inner Melbourne. The Post Office opened around 1902 and was known as South Sassafras until 1925. Australian Impressionist artist Tom Roberts lived in Kallista between 1856 and 1931.
Australian poet and author C. J. Dennis wrote much of his "The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke" in Kallista between 1913 and 1914 at a grand property called "Sunnyside" (sadly long since burned down). In the early part of the Twentieth Century, Kallista was a a distant holiday hill town popular with wealthy Melbournians who wanted a country escape. It wasn't really until the Great Depression when the wealthy could no longer afford the upkeep on their holiday homes and sold them, that a more permanent populace moved in, hoping to live off the rich soils of the area. Today Kallista still carries an air of exclusivity with large blocks, many old houses and large blocks of land filled with stunning gardens.
Just some water drops on a tulip.

I struggled with this weeks challenge and actually pulled this photo from my archives. Focus could be way better but since this was probably close to the first time I was trying this I am giving myself a pass.
