Diamond Drops

My Wife is away all week, day two and I am bored. My wife, her twin Sister and their Mother went by bus to Charlotte, NC to help in the packaging of Christmas boxes for Operation Christmas Child. After I came home from work tonight I played with the puppies awhile, took my Son to work, and then ate supper. I decided I needed something else to do. I knew I needed a photo for tonight, so I decided to play in the water a little while. Never did the water drop shot before so I figured now was as good a time as any to experiment. Actually, I was quite amazed at how this turned out. Nothing spectacular I know, but it looks like I have diamonds dripping from my faucet. I am richer than I thought I was. I think they are quite vivid, don't you?

[Glenys Hardy (Mrs Moose)]

That is lovely Rick, I have been helping with Christmas Child boxes but this year didn't - bought all the things but with hubby not having much 'get up and go' these days, the things are still all under the bed. Oh well there is alwasy Barnardo's - Salvo's etc etc, I may still get to feel the joy of that giving.
Anyway you realise many of us will be rushing off to our taps to find Diamonds.

[Angela Thoms]

I would never have guessed these to be water. You are inspiring , Rick. i haven't tried water yet; it seems so challenging.
