Sunshine in a wet garden by maggiemae

Sunshine in a wet garden

Rain was forecast all today but at this time the only thing wet was my behind sitting on the wet grass trying for this photo! The lilies are a lovely bright colour but I think my aperture should have been a bit higher as I wanted to get the other background lilies in the same shot.

Three Good Things:
1. I felt tired and despondent today - didn’t achieve my exercise regime but thought the hellwithit!
2. The electricians came in and turned the power off. Now I’ve got to reset all the clocks! Good thing is they have successfully installed a timer.
3. Lots of favs on my sky scene - most unexpected!
Gorgeous tiger lily. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

@alophoto Thanks for that kind thought Amanda! I daresay tomorrow will be another day - as they say!

Wonderful stamens looking up to the sky Maggie! A wet bottom is no good, no chills on your rear end! No worrying about lot done exercises, life too short to do exercises! Get the bike out instead! Chin up, 😘

@happypat The trouble is the doctor says i have to do these every day and some, every waking hour! When I can't be bothered, i then feel guilty! Its a bother!

So lovely

I think the focus is perfect. If you had got the other flowers in focus it would have taken away from the beauty of this flower.

I think it is lovely just as it is. It’s okay to take a day off from exercise, at least that’s what I tell myself sometimes.

Glorious colour & those furled petals & bold stamens are so lovely on that background.

@ludwigsdiana Tomorrow turned out to be horrible weather but I felt better - more relaxed!

Colorful and lively! Hoping you feel better tomorrow, Maggiemae. Every one needs a day to recharge. :)

Wonderful bloom!

I rather like the way this turned out and think it better than what you were going for.

Everyone is entitled to a day off now and again. Don't beat yourself up over it and start anew

@gardenfolk I think I've got rain fade, Ms CC! Wish the rain would stop!

@maggiemae Send it our way! We need some rain...please! A nice soft, gentle rain...to help with the fires but not enough to wash away loved ones remains. 😢

@gardenfolk I'll make it a prayer today!

@maggiemae 🙏 Thank you, Maggiemae! ❤️
