It's a wonderful thing, sightseeing in a world washed fresh...

...sparkling with nature's bling.

I can even tolerate all of the extra bugs attracted by the moisture.
Or at least I try to tolerate them.
(Do you see that one on the leaf up above? I didn't until I saw this photo. Ugh.)

Dewdrops look like elegant lace on these Bright Bitterweed blossoms.
I hate the name, but love the flower!

Morning dew clung to this spiderweb like an intricate strands of pearls.

Rain. Sunshine. Rain. Sunshine.
Balance.
It won't last long, I know,
but that makes me appreciate it even more.

ReplyDeleteLOVE that green leaf photo! the light is wonderful! i love the wildflowers, too. so happy to see them back!
Thanks, TWG! After the past few years of extremes, balance feels soooo good!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Kerri!
DeleteSo pretty, Barbara. There's magic everywhere.
ReplyDeleteRain is magical, isn't it? Thanks, Hilary!
DeleteOh yes - nature's bling. It's priceless!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Stacey!
DeleteThese are beautiful Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow flower, and that spiderweb is amazing.
Wonderfully captured!
Thank you, Lisa!
DeleteI once spent a morning photographing a heavy dew on my roses. How wonderful to see it in person. The photograph shows only a part of what you see.
ReplyDeleteVery true!! But you can't help trying to capture it, can you?
DeleteOh, that spider-web is esquisite. what a wonderful image, Barbara. You have captured nature as she washes everything awake, who couldn't smile viewing this beautiful collection?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shrinky! You make me smile enough, I'm glad to repay you with one!
DeleteBarbara, your nature images are so delectable!! Natures bling... love that and so true! So beautiful though that it can't be bought for money. I find it just such an amazing thing to go out with a camera and see something we've seen a thousand times before and yet capture it as if it's the first time. What a beatiful process. I love all these images but especially the Bitterweed blossoms... just so sweet.

Thank you, Joan! I love those Bitterweed, too. Before I had my camera, I never noticed all of the beautiful differences in each flower.
DeleteLove your nature shots and that cobweb is awesome! Nothing like rain to make the earth smell fresh!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Reena! I've missed that fresh smell - I'm so glad it's becoming common again!
DeleteJust this morning, as I was coming back from saying good morning to Simon (yes, Simon...it's a morning and evening ritual) I noticed the morning dew on so many leaves, but just didn't have the time to grab my camera to investigate closer. I love it when those droplets cover the landscape, but until I got into photography I never paid attention. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteI never noticed them either until I started looking through my lens. Amazing what all I've been missing!
DeleteI totally understand your visits to Simon - on my evening walk I pass by the resting places of all my furry, feathered and scaly friends. They're always in our hearts, aren't they?
