.....or at least that is what these little rain droplets look like! Fine rain this morning, what my mother would have called "missle", though this word isn't actually in the dictionary, I assume it is misty drizzle! Anyway it added to the beauty of these petals!

My Father in law used that word, I always thought it was a West Country saying.

@peterday Isn't language & dialect fascinating? Leicestershire in my mother's case.

Excellent macro! Such a pretty flower.

Lovely photo. A sure fav. Is that another beauty from your garden? How I envy you folks your Dahlias. I also admire you mom's vocabulary. She was just ahead of her time. If we all use that delightful word, someday Mr. Webster's minions will catch up to her.

[Carole Sandford]

@carole_sandford Lucky you. I took some Dahlia photos at the Public Market at Seattle when I was there. No rain or due on the edges though. That's strictly a British special effect.
