We got rain today!!!!! It was wonderful!!! It rained hard and for a while!! We could hear all the trees and plants sighing and saying "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
It's kinda funny, of all the water drop photos I have done over the years, I had never done the classic drip coming out of a faucet.
Well guess I can check that one off my list.
Happy Hump Day :-)
While there was plenty of beauty at the Chicago Botanical Garden's Orchid exhibit, this bamboo water spout caught my eye. Enjoy!
Must thank my daughter for being such a sloppy painter. I got completely carried away with this paint tin after I found all these huge dry drips.
Dedicated to the red bic pen that gave its life for this picture.

Well christmas has been and gone, now it is coming up to the end of 2010 and a new year will soon be here.
THANKS TO ALL MY FLICKR FRIENDS FOR THE KIND COMMENTS, VISITS AND SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME IN THE LAST YEAR.
I WISH YOU PEACE AND HAPPINESS IN 2011.
I will be back before midnight tomorrow to comment on your latest images.
Do you remember that rainy week in July I will ask you some day if I love you enough for somedays. I will ask you if you remember that day I got caught on the way home, that day I walked in the door soaked -- Soaked to the bone, you said -- and I stripped down to my slip and stood dripping on the carpet -- You're a mess, you said, I'm a mess, I agreed -- and I wanted to be beautiful then, I wanted you to touch me, I took off the slip and stared at you, and you stared back, stared at the dripping black satin in my hand. And I was cold and you gave me a towel and I took it. I took the towel, I hung the slip over the shower curtain rod to dry, I was cold, I made a cup of tea.

8th January, 08/365 (11:58pm...phew!!)
Five minutes left until midnight and the pressure was on to grab my photo of the day! I decided to grab the tripod and attempt another splash. It was a bit of a gamble but fortunately I did end up with one or two useable shots! This is a little darker than I would like ideally but the focus is better than yesterday's effort!
The backgound is luxury handmade wrapping paper which is like felt in texture - one side has lovely glittery patterns which created a quite nice bokeh effect in yesterday's shot. I turned the paper around tonight for a change, it's made me realise just how much light was being bounced back by the glitter as this is very much darker!
"Trumpeter Swan Drip" by Patti Deters. A beautiful and graceful Trumpeter Swan (cygnus buccinator) swims in profile along the dark blue waters of the St. Croix River in Hudson, Wisconsin. If you look close, you can see a water drip with a round water droplet that just separated - these are always hard for me to capture as timing can be tricky! This one swan was foraging for breakfast and had been dunking her head under the water for quite some time. If you like this image, I invite you to please share or see my main image gallery (avian, wildlife, outdoors, and more) at patti-deters.pixels.com.
Ulan (near Mudgee)
NSW, Australia.
The Drip is an amazing gorge on the Goulburn River just north of Ulan and about 50km north of Mudgee.
The main part of the massive rock overhang is referred to as The Great Dripping Wall.
Water runs off from the surrounding hillsides & seeps through the rock & drips onto the the pools in the gorge.
Ferns cling to the rocks of the steep overhang and are constantly watered by the the water that drips down the top.
The track to The Drip is about 2.4km return, but it’s well worth exploring further downstream.
There are sandstone cliffs with ferneries that cling to them, huge boulders, & gnarly twisted trees.
Recently, an Aboriginal style painting on a large rock overhang by the river was discovered to be by Brett Whitely, a famous Australian artist.
The Drip area also contains a culturally important cave for the Wiradjuri indigenous tribe.
The cave has been used for many years as a place for women’s rituals & birthing was performed there.
The Drip is a popular destination for both locals & tourists.
People visit The Drip to bushwalk, swim, and also to go camping.
Its a great location for photography & also for bird-watching.
Unfortunately, The Drip is under threat from mining.
The area is not protected by the nearby Goulburn River national Park & is owned by the Moolarben Coal Company.
The mining company have proposed to protect as national park a measly 0.75ha of the area directly around The Drip wall.
The remainder 53ha of the proposal is for a state conservation area rather than a national park.
This does not protect the sensitive area from mining.
Moolarben Coal have a proposal to drill a tunnel that crosses The Drip are & this has the potential to affect local aquifers & river levels.
This could threaten the survival of the sensitive area of The Drip itself.
Local landowners Julie & Colin Imrie have offered 10ha of their neighbouring ‘Gleniston’ property to become national park,
as long as the Yancoal group hand over a larger portion of their land to national park.
This is a beautiful & unique area that needs to be protected as a national park.
