Love the colors, along with a very nice composition, also, excellent exposure on the water drops. Beautiful work Tim.

Bill, I wish that I could give you a more informed answer. They appeared sufficiently unique enough to me so I added them to the series of wildflower/perennial gardens that I'm building here in Concrete.

Looks like some kind of Pea Flower to me :cool: . The geometry in the leaves in the backdrop of strong yellows is highly pleasing and so are the water drops.

Nice shot, is that you reflected in the water droplet?

Great shot Mr Hale. It's amazing how surface tension can allow droplets to cling to such a slope. Very cool and well done. :toast:

I would post some images of my wildflower garden but most people don't find dandelions all that interesting. :biggrin:

Great capture of the water drops. You have some refraction in them of the surrounding blooms. Nicely done.
