A bed of feathery pink flowers had just been watered as I was going past. This is a close cropping to pick up the best drops.
droplets or ornaments?
plants
purple petals
While I did apply some adjustments to this: saturation and a bit of blurring on focus off of the main subject, I did just like how busy this flower was between pollen, water drops and the markings on the plant itself.

Waterdrops or little party lights
This is one of the shots that I didn’t know I had until I reviewed my photos. My goal here was to get a nice close out of multiple water drops along the stem of a flower. For whatever reason I wasn’t getting good focus and just said oh well.. and move on. When I looked at my photos afterwards, I saw that I really liked this. The flower behind it is in focus and it either looks like mini suns or a strand of party lights hung up in front of the leaf. One of my favorites of the day.

Blooms not always best
Today I went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens – it was a beautiful day outside. They were having their Orchid Daze and usually I would have been posting pictures of the orchids themselves. As I have been several times now I looked for other details. So the three photos I have focus less on the blooms than textures. The one orchid bloom I show is very fuzzy and has trapped water. The other pictures I liked were of spotted leaves and stripped bark. Not quite sure how folks take pictures in the tropics, when I entered the one room I had my camera under my shirt – only briefly taking it out to snap a shot and had to keep cleaning the lens. As the work week hits tomorrow – most likely it will be more buildings and backyard shots LOL. Hope the weekend was great!
