just after a day of rain! The flowers are just coming out and they really are so big! The two pods on the left have already opened up into flowers.

For some reason the 365 download is very slow and it takes over 2 minutes to look at anybodies photos! I hope to see them if it improves - I love my travel throughout the world and through the eyes of some very talented people!

This looks lovely Maggie, helas, cannot see it large, having the same prob as you. Tried to catch up with you earlier and am pretty familiar with the titles of your picks but no idea what they look like :) do you think it's a NZ thing?

[Harry J Benson]

Nice closeup, lighting, and colour

[Maggiemae]

@frida Seems odd - it's not my computer - other pics download instantly!
I can see the thumbnails of pics only on 365. Will wait till later and try again!

A lovely picture. Great shot.

Beautiful Maggie, love how you captured the water droplets and the rich green leaves.

[Maggiemae]

@tonygig Thanks Tony, there were many rain drops which I liked to see on the photo when I downloaded it ant the leaves are that deep green color!

[Alison Miller]

Just beautiful pic, Maggiemae!

[Maggiemae]

@alipou Thankyou Alison! Im enjoying yours too!

[David Pryde]

Beautiful Maggie - the water has bashed them around a bit but they are still exquisite. Love thedifferentvtextures as well.

[Maggiemae]

@doblaine Yes, they do look a bit as if they have been through the washing machine! Must be tough, though!

[Yvonne]

Such a beautiful shot, maggiemae. The waterdrops are so nice. I feel the same way about looking at everyone's photos. So much talent, so much beauty in the world and I feel so fortunate to see what is here.

[Pat Knowles]

Love the mixture of deeper bud & more faded flower Maggiemae & the texture of the leaves shows up so well. I too love the views of around the world .

[Peter de Graaff]

Rhododendrons are the most magnificent flowers

[Joan]

I love this, the white against the dark green of the leaves

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They look lovely! I'm not sure what's causing your slow download but I hope it clears up for you soon. That can be so frustrating!

[Dianne]

I can only get half of this picture to download.. will try again late.. :)

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Oh, so lovely! The raindrops on the petals are a nice touch.

[Gillian]

Love the raindrops. Great shot.

[Buffy]
