A rainy morn

Posted these on another forum and got 67 views and not a single comment, not even a boy those are terrible. So I thought I would try again, but here.

I was out in the yard the other morning, and there was a fine drizzle falling, which is sort of rare this time of year. I guess I don’t need to say it was cloudy. Now some would say that the light wasn’t any good for photography, but I liked the mood it created, and the colors.

All favorable comments are warmly received; negative comments are grudgingly tolerated. :cry

The first two are of my Mexican Bird of Paradise bush, one of favorite bushes, but only in the summer, it’s a real dud in the winter. The bees were everywhere.

An occasional Wasp too.

Seems like the snails liked the moist weather too. This one was on my Hibiscus bush

and sans snail

Can’t decide if this works or not. I used the popup flash for fill since I was shooting against the sky.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
