Raindrops on Roses

A little field trip last Friday led us to a beautiful home and rose garden on Lake Logan Martin.  As we turned off the interstate it started to rain.  What seemed like a potential disaster for a photo shoot turned into magic!  The shower stopped upon our arrival and each and every blossom sparkled. Kay Taylor, my rose expert, tells me this is Just Joey!

Guest Photographr Michael Anderson - Rain Drops

 Recently Birmingham suffered through what seemed like weeks of nonstop rain. Another fine photograph from Birmingham photographer Michael Anderson.

It Rained Saturday

and I'm thankful a bit fell on my parched lawn. Not long after the stormed passed, I joined about 25 area photographers for the Worldwide Photo Walk 2010. It was hot + steamy, but I lasted for over an hour! I've photographed downtown Birmingham a many, many times, so I was a bit stumped to try and find something new and fresh. Our fearless leader Pete, suggested I go macro. Good idea Pete! I found these raindrops perched on some huge canna leaves in a potted planter on 20th Street. Did any of you do a Photo Walk in your city Saturday? I loved wandering downtown with new photo friends!
