Raindrop Rhapsody

We had a good rain this evening, so the grass is definitely getting a little greener. After it was all finished I took my camera, and macro lens out on the sidewalk, set it down and set the timer. I wanted to take a few photos shooting in through the growing grass to see what I could capture. I liked this one out of all the others. It captured the tiny raindrops still dancing on the blades of grass and clover. Somehow I managed to come down with a head cold, so right now I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable. Hope you all have a wonderful evening.

Brilliant! I love the water drops on the left that seem to be sliding down the grass. Very well done! Maybe you should quit sitting and laying down in damp grass...feel better soon Mr. Rick!

[Pam Hawkes]

This is a great capture. I almost feel like I am an adventuring ant. Great perspective Rick. I hope you shake off that cold tonight.

[Allison Williams]

My prescription is stay out of the wet grass but I see Mary already diagnosed this. Hope you feel better soon.

[Nikkers]

ouch I hate head colds.. plenty of rest and liquids young man... hope you are feeling better very soon...

It's a small world and there is plenty of life in this jungle. :-)

[Mrs. Smith]

[Lynn]

Lovely. Great shot of the rain drops!

[Sue]

ahhh feel better Rick, love the shot!

[Laurie Higgins]

What a cool idea! I hope you feel better soon, Rick! Summer colds seem so much worse that winter ones to me. They just seem unfair, somehow.

[Dave Anajao]

very refreshing love it!

[Carolyn Sue]

It's a wonderful shot! Love the softness and the raindrops! (You need to take some extra care of yourself -- you've been through a lot lately! The body is telling you that you need some extra rest and care!!!)

[Julie Cortens]

Another great macro. Hope you are feeling better soon.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot! Love the water droplets and perspective. Hope your head cold goes away quickly!

[Lois P]

I like this - so up close & in there!
Hope you are soon feeling better Rick.
You've been through a lot lately & it can all catch up with the immune system. Take care of yourself now.
Honey & lemon juice!
Have a good evening too!

[Terry]

I like this, and the rain was a blessing wasn't it. Head cold in this heat way, no fun. Hope you feel better soon. How is the hand progressing?

[Shanne]

pretty light and glitter - effective shot

[John Brown]

Nice capture.

[Alta D©]

love the softness and the bokeh!

[Traci Wood Reynolds]

Great macro- love the composition Rick. We walk all over the grass without really looking...

[Pat Knowles]

Great idea, you never knew what you would catch !! Hope the cold improves !

[Denise]

Very cool composition.

[seasnappi]

hope you feel better soon ;)

[Rick Schies]

@sarasdadandmom Terry, the hand is about where it's going to be I guess. Not bad at all. I have full use, good grip, off and on pain, but nothing like it used to be. So I guess it is what it is.

[Terry]

@digitalrn good, thanks for the update

[Brad Johnson]

Dreamy shot. I like the title, too.

[Matt Clendon]

It's like a little pixie world and highlights that the world is equally beautiful from the point of view of an ant as it is from where we stand.

[Jennifer Vargas]

Nice shot...love the DOF!

[Karen Sylvia]

Great dof. Hope you are feeling better today.

Rick I'm sorry if you received some comments which might all be incompete. I was trying to send you an URL of a theme picture called wormseye view...we had lots of fun with it and your picture reminded me of it. but unfortunately I can't get the URL to come up it shows up in my comment to you but when I click save my comment is there without the URL for you to click on. I've seen others do it but can't figure out how its done. the pictures I was referring to where from April 2010 the 21, 24 and 26.
now to your picture. I love it a real nice Macro..the grass and the dancing raindrops ..just awesome/

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely shot Rick - great angle.

[Diva]

[cglist]

Beautiful detail!

[Margaret Tryon]

Gorgeous colors and focus.

[FaerieMoon]

This turned out very dreamy--I'm sorry about your head cold though. Take care of yourself

[Tanya]

magical....if I look hard enough I think I can see fairies ;)

[Sean]

Love your focal point for this one!

[Henriette Sparkes]

So glad you got some rain, great shot...and I hope you are feeling better.

[Glenys Hardy (Mrs Moose)]

Liked this macro shot Rick and hoping your cold has begun to ease away.

[Georgie Girl]

Fantastic! Love the softness. Not so fantastic about the cold, but since I'm behind in commenting, I would imagine you are feeling much better by now.
