After the rain............

Yesterday we had a beautiful, gentle rain. You know, the kind that leaves the earth fresh and clean smelling, that makes the colors more vivid, and is just sweet somehow? Maybe it only seemed that way to me because I was up at my folks' new place and it seems like a total refuge for me. Anyhow, after the rain I did something new.......... I went out and tried to capture raindrops with my camera. I came back with over 100 pics but sadly less than a 1/3 of those were worth keeping and only that many because I was not being overly critical. The evening light was too dim but it was fun to try something new! Here are a few shots that I got..........

A grape leaf...

Well, hopefully I didn't bore you :o)
