As they say, “when you have lemons make lemonade.” It’s been raining a great deal here in Berkeley lately. You’d almost think we live in Seattle. So I’ve been photographing water drops. Water drops on flowers in the sun, but mostly water drops in the rain. (Click here to see a whole bunch of my water drop photos on Flickr.)
My front porch makes a nice protected “water drop studio” where I can work without getting my camera and lens too wet. For this photo, I lined up my white cymbidium (it’s an orchid in a pot that comes from the lower Himalayas and likes it outdoors here) so that the gate to our garden is reflected in the water drop. (You may have to view the photo larger to see the garden gate.)
