Raindrop Madness

Taken through my sittingroom window just after dawn. The lashing rain finally stopped just after sunset. A bucket in our back garden, empty last night, was half full.
Raindrops lit up by the sun on a bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) flower bud.

Hope this lovely raindrop can bring everybody a nice weekend mood! 希望這個雨滴能為大家帶來個愉快的周末
So.......One day when it was raining like crazy outside I decided I was going to try to catch myself a raindrop. Easier said than done, at least for me :-) After what seemed like shooting 100's of photo's I got this one, Yeah! I was satisfied. The crazy things I do for entertainment. I know my neighbors think I have totaly lost it. :-)
It feels like forever since I've been on Flickr and have missed all of you. I feel like I am finally on the road to recovery. It will take some time for me to get back to commenting on everyone's images - so you may just get faves for a bit. So happy to be back!

I'm not a poet, a philosopher or a romantic but I loved the music and the pictures on this video.

An opening Hippeastrum flower.
When I first got a macro lens and started photographing flowers, I would choose a deep dof and use a tripod. However, I have come to like the blur and bokeh that come with shallow dofs. Auto focusing has improved and despite my hands being a little shaky, I take more photos hand-held now. As Brian Mangan pointed, out shake reduction has improved too.
Have a wonderful new week!
