Rain Drops
Orange Poppy Down
One of the aspects I enjoy with photography is capturing different perspectives. This is an orange poppy that was drenched by an early morning rain. The rain pushed the bloom downward, leaving some moisture on the delicate, paper-like petals.
We have a few poppy plants in a flower bed next to our house that bloom every spring. The bloom doesn’t last nearly enough but they are quite lovely while they are showing. I’ve taken a lot of poppy picture over the years, but none quite like this. I particularly like the contrasting colors of vivid orange and green and the different perspective of this photo.

Flowing Focus
After a light spring rain, I photographed the back side of a freshly bloomed poppy. The water droplets were the point of interest to me.
When I opened the image up on my computer for processing, I thought a monochrome version held more promise. The full-color version was nice, but this one seemed to draw me in more.

Bejeweled Bleeding Heart
This photo has been on my hard drive for many years. I wanted a colorful image for today’s post – something to revive and encourage spring-like expectations.
This solitary bloom on a bleeding heart plant in our flower bed is bejeweled with the remains of a spring shower.
