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
to those who leave comments on any of my  posts

  2. 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.

  14. 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. :)

  17. 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
