Rain morning in the backyard

I went out in a steady rain with my Olympus E-3 and a Sigma 150. Stacked using Zerene Stacker . Used a tripod and a flash at on manual at power setting 1/128th.

This is the seed pod of the wild cucumber(Echinocystis lobata) a common vine, the pod ripens and splits open at the bottom, the seeds drop out and the pod then dries out and eventually this skeleton is all that is left. This is a 27 shot focus stack complied in Zerene Stacker
