Droplets after rain

Last night we had a light shower of rain - much appreciated by the garden and plants in general. On my early morning walk I was taken by the number of shining points of light caused by the bright sun low in the sky and the rain droplets still clinging to flowers and leaves.

So what could one do but pause, appreciate and take the odd photo - some of which follow.

It almost seemed like the flowers and plants were breathing, cleansed and full of life. All photos were taken with the iPhone.

    Thanks for your comment Barry, think your small white flower is a honeysuckle, should know the others but don't !

    I agree with Penny about the honeysuckle... There's nothing so magical as tiny drops of water - lovely photos, Barry!

    Hi P & C - thanks for checking out these little beauties of nature - and I agree now that you have said it - they do appear to be honeysuckle. P - In always enjoy the views from your walks - I hope one day I might be able to share one with you. C - they are like clear temporary crystals - reflecting light - easy to enjoy. Go well. B
