Well, it’s summer in England after all.So that means ICC Champions Trophy and … inevitably, rain.

Indeed, Ark 🙂 I don’t mind the rain, it’s what you expect living here, so long as it does not go on and on and on … Yet we have had a dry winter, the hottest may since the early 1940s, and they are talking about hose pipe bans in some areas.

I grew up on the Coast – bumbershoots and gumboots were everyday dress. 🙂

Wonderful photos, the temperature must have cooled off a bit with the rain.

Thank you, Sumyanna 🙂 I have always found water droplets to be quite magical, especially the way they reflect the world around them.

So true. Funny thing is – it was my daughter that taught me that. She went out after a rain and took photos of raindrops hanging off a tree’s branches. We were in a strip mall, nothing beautiful – but oh, those photos were gorgeous, reflecting the branches like a kaleidoscope. Yes, they are magical.

Exquisite and inspiring! I’ve not delved into your site to check to see what camera you are using, but you make me want to buy a nice macro for my little mirror-less Olympus 🙂

Thank you very much, Diana 🙂 I use a Nikon D7200 with a Sigma 105mm macro lens. Once you get a macro lens, you will never look back!

Nice! Appreciate you getting back to me! Now I’m off researching macro lenses for my OMD. Safe to say I can blame you (in an appreciative way) for any future purchase 👍🏻😉

You are welcome, Diana 🙂 I went for years with compact and bridge cameras, until I finally took the plunge for a DSLR and got the macro lens. If you enjoy the microcosmic world, you will love your macro as I do. Research them first via Google, see what’s best for your camera and your needs. Yeah, I guess you can blame me 😉
