Raindrops

 Last week was very wet and I dashed outside into my garden one day and managed to take these 4 photographs.  This small Rhododendron is a particular favourite of mine called Christmas Cheer and this year is the earliest I have ever seen it blooming.  It will continue to bloom until about February.  




I hope you at least liked one of the shots.

Thank you for visiting and  also

    It's getting me down is this wet.
    The flowers cheered me up a little.

    Hi Margaret, your photos are very pretty. It's great to find beauty even on a rainy day. I like to use rainy days for "me" time. Have a great week.

    More than one, I like your perspective on each one, especially the rain drops in Black and White!

    Beautiful things. From which you can tell that we never get enough rain. I welcome it whenever it falls.

    That's a very pretty Rhodo and the raindrops look great. We are having a week of rain here too, but the garden doesn't mind. :)

    A lovely rhodendron - I didn't realise you could get winter flowering varieties. Such a delicate colour :)

    Hi There, Before I forget it, I am enjoying your photos on Google+....

    Love your flowers and the raindrops... During the spring/summer here--I do the same thing. I love to see raindrops clinging to the flowers and leaves...Your pictures make me yearn for summer...

    It's COLDER than COLD here now... We are having winter MUCH too early... Officially it doesn't get here 'til Dec.21...

    Hugs,
    Betsy
