Backlit blossom

I wanted to get a photo of this blossom with raindrops on it after a heavy downpour, but can't quite see the raindrops on it, though
think it looks good being backlit by the evening sun which popped out briefly from behind the clouds.

very reminiscent of Spring, with or without the raindrops!

Love the warm effect of the sun and the backlighting is just stunning. I can see some droplets, btw so you did succeed there.

The backlight is beautiful, great timing on your part.

Very lovely image, Tricia, but I do think you're imagining the raindrops. :)
