Had to choose from shots of several varieties. The frilly edged one with rain drops won... the others will come later. Taken with Canon 5D, Tamron 90 macro.

Comments always welcomed.

Patricia: I really wasn't expecting anything this cool from the thumbnail. The proliferation of drops and your DOF/POF choices are wonderful. 2+ thumbs up lassie! >=))>

Patricia, thanks to Jim and the weekly picks I can admire and stamp in my eyes this splendid vision that I was missing. An elegant drawing, delicate colors, a very simple composition as in your style.
Cheers.
