white rose after the rain

I have run out of time again today and must choose quickly between the assorted raindrops collection I had little trouble gathering on the way home from work. More torrential rain today - but I was lucky to have the sun put in a weak appearance as I came home.

Naturally went via 'my' swan who was looking somewhat drenched today. Yesterday she was momentarily off her eggs so I was able to check that there are still five there.

The soft color of this image is very soothing.

Beautiful shot Helen, your macros/close-ups are so good.

Beautiful close up the water droplets look gorgeous. Good to hear the swan is still doing well.

You have caught the texture of the petals & the raindrops well. I like the raindrop magnifier at the front.

@evalieutionspics glad to facilitate soothing. That sounds like a good thing.

@kerosene how kind of you to say so.

@onewing I will be popping in on the swan again tomorrow. There are water droplets just about everywhere - it has rained hard every day for two weeks now!
