Sunday is becoming my prime snapping day and this week was no exception. First I saw this skittish softie outside the family room window.
Then I noticed that the conditions on the back deck were prime for more droplet photos. I took a gazillion, got about 100 I was tickled with, and edited it all down to a small handful that made me very happy. Rather than simply trying to catch the drops as they fell, this time I was interested in pushing my limits in two directions. The first was to capture reflections in the drops and the other was to create truly abstract shots that worked with this week's prompt. Here are three of the shots I really liked.

Reflection (of the trees across the driveway)

Mmmmm. The prompt this week was soft and yet I've got a woodpecker and a parrot beak. Ooops. I took so many soft shots that didn't make the cut. I think I need to round out this post with a nod to the prompt from the runners-up.
At the SPCA
The Girls
Sin Kitten, er, bunny

"Soft" was fun but kinda mushy. This week's prompt: direction
Love the pics, Sue, but that is not a red-headed woodpecker. It's called a downy woodpecker.
ReplyDeletethe droplet pictures are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI've taken some pictures of late, but have been too mired down in housing projects and unpacking boxes. I do hope to jump back in at some point.
Steve, are you sure. He had a bright red patch on his head. It wasn't as visible in this shot but it was there.
ReplyDeleteWell fancy that! I just did a google image search and there he is. Downy Woodpecker. Off to edit.
ReplyDeleteAmazing water droplet shots. Wow! I am not inspired this last week ... the only thing soft around here are the roads, where my trusty Ford wallows and covers itself with muck.
ReplyDeleteAnd indeed that's probably a downy. It's hard to tell them from their Hairy cousins unless you can get a good idea of relative size. I thought you did that on purpose.
