It really does rain in the San Diego area, even though it's a desert. I really like those raindrops -- go to a larger size.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 24th of June is “raindrops or dewdrops”. Luckily, it is winter where I live, and not only is it the coldest winter since 1947, but it has also been raining quite a lot, so I have had many things to photograph covered in raindrops, and ample choice of images for this theme.
Of course, “raindrops on roses”, the opening one of Fräulein Maria’s favourite things in “The Sound of Music” is the most obvious choice, and it was mine using a magenta rose until the other day when I went to hand deliver a birthday card. As I was walking back, there was a break in the rainclouds and showers long enough to give me some sunshine and blue skies, and I walked past a garden full of bright purple and magenta salvias. A raindrop glinting in the sunlight on the tip of a purple salvia caught my eye, and as I always carry my little camera with me, I stopped to photograph it. This image, complete with its sparkle, was the result! The vibrant colour in the bloom is very striking, and the way it is covered in raindrops, makes this salvia a bejewelled beauty. Looking at this, I can well understand why raindrops on roses, or any other flowers may well be one of Fräulein Maria’s favourite things. I hope it is one of yours too, and that it makes you smile!
'Bowl of Beauty' Peony is famous for its huge, hot-pink outer petals that surround a soft and frilly ivory-yellow center, with each bloom measuring up to 10" across. One of the most attractive peonies available,
The world's third favorite flower after roses and orchids...maybe tied with tulips.

Another cold and grey day here so the raindrops from some misty showers overnight are not evaporating.

The opening of Fräulein Maria’s favourite things are "raindrops on roses", so perhaps she would enjoy this rose bloom, the last for the season on a bush in a garden where it survives on nothing but neglect, which I photographed on a stroll back in June. It was so vibrant and striking! The magenta colour in the bloom caught my eye from a mile away, and the way it is covered in raindrops, makes her a bejewelled beauty. Looking at this, I can well understand why raindrops on roses may well be one of Fräulein Maria’s favourite things.

There were times I felt giving up taking drops...I don't know how many times I tried.But I guess, its not really my line in taking such.2 days ago,it rained here and went to my garden to check my mums.coz' they grew up to 160cm height and was worried.They bend and fall when the flowers were too heavy with the rain.Luckily...I spotted some drops that I can't resists taking.This is one of them.
Thank you always for everything flickr friends.I like the flower meaning of this one "FLOWER of LIFE".From me to YOU!!!
