Sun Shower


Just after I had watered my flower the sun hit these Strawflowers. Notice how the sun is reflection off some of the rain drops.

Yellow is mellow and yellow flowers are the mellowest of all. The theme for this week's Photo Time is mellow yellow flowers. Also check out all sorts of yellows at Mellow Yellow Monday.
And if flowers are your favorite thing be sure to visit Today's Flowers.

My Internet connection has been off and on all week (mostly off). Looks like it is back to normal now, I hope. I will be catching up with all of your blogs today.

The rainy day here makes me feel like putting this flower on the window to see if it brightens the day...
God bless you!

I just love the name sun shower, what amazing images it conjures. Your drops are just totally amazing! How about setting up a day each week to make them a regular feature? I went to a nursery after the rain the other day. Got NOTHING!!! But it was you who told me the bee snapping advice, your blog is always inspiring me to do cool things, so I won't give up.

Hi Judz, I do not know if I've seen strawflowers before, or perhaps they just look different from those angle. Lovely capture. Good macro shots! :)

Such a lovely gift for all your readers today. The effect of the bubbles of water on the petals is quite gorgeous. I also like the messed about look of some of the petals. Having everything perfect all the time can become boring after a while. A very good choice of photo for MYM.

Your header is just awesome!

Simply breathtaking, I'm not a big fan of yellow but that would make a great poster...

How spectacular. They look so beautiful with the water droplets. At first, I thought they were water lillies but I had never seen them in yellow ( are there any in yellow? ).

Judy, I love the raindrops! They are like tiny gems, adding to the beauty of the flowers!!

Carletta said...

Love the little diamond reflections in the first one!

Ratty said...

There's something about water that always brings out the beauty in flowers.

desertnutmeg said...

Gorgeous! Again, both your photo and your straw flowers. First thing I thought of when i saw the sun reflection: Fairies!!!!
LOL!

Like the new header photo too! I've been quiet lately, so now worries to "catch up" with any comments or posts for me.
Hope you are having a great week!
