It rained!

After a lot of hot muggy days, the rain fell down in buckets and after it stopped I went out to see what interesting shots I could find. I was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes whenever I got in amongst the plants to do a close-up on the water drops, so gave up on that idea! and took this shot of various trees and shrubs - the blue spruce is one of my favourite trees and I think it looks lovely with the sun behind making the raindrops sparkle.

Wonderful use of DOF to highlight the various raindrops on the different branchs. Very creative! :)
