The dawn brought thick fog and I was able to get these shots of tiny raindrops on the pansies when I took my morning walk.
I used one of Jerry Jones’ bokeh textures on most of them, but only slightly.
It was a quiet, peaceful morning. In fact, it felt more like April around here than May.
The deluge of the night before has left this buttercup hanging its head. One of the textures I used on this is a new one from Kim Klassen called ‘pour vous’. Get on her mailing list to acquire free weekly textures.
I {heart} weekends.

Hope yours was a good one.
THE fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Wow. Thanks for all the kind comments, everyone. My internet's been crazy tonight, probably from the storms that were going through and I'm just seeing them now.

Dew drops are falling on my head.
Lovely shots Kate, Pansies are one of my favourite flowers and you captured them so beautifully! Hope you have a lovely Monday! :-) P.s. Raining here...and today the Captain leaves for Brazil...going to need some sunshine soon so I don´t get totally bummed out...;-)
Wow, Kate--the little drops on the pansies--are just breathtakingly beautiful. And Carl Sandburg's poem is one of my favorites.
Really, really nice. And I love the short poem at the end. What lens did you use for taking these pictures?
Blessings,

AMAZING, AWESOME , BEAUTIFUL photos, are they taken with your Nikkon Macro 60mm. I am yet to use mine I will soon lol . Have a great day !
Pretty photos today. I always love dewdrops on flower petals.
Wondering if you take more than one lens with you when you go for a walk, or do you just take one with an idea in mind of what you are going to photograph along the way?

Kate - just stunning. Magnificent.

I believe the fog here came in on the feet of some VERY BIG CAT .. and the rain, its been coming down since yesterday afternoon with just one small break through of non rainy sky with humidity so high my hair looks like silver cotton candy ..
Beautiful photos.
Absolutely stunning collection!
And congrats, Kate. PW picked your chickadee photo in group 5! It's beautiful!
Exquisite. I could eat these.
These photos are absolutely breath-taking!
absolutely loved your pictures! rain is nice isn't it. I love the fog, I like taking pictures of the fog, except when I can't see! Lol
Pansies make my heart sing!
Lovely Kate - I love capturing water drops...

Beautiful images, Kate. You have a very artistic flair.
Seems that one of your passion is photography, well i really love taking pictures everywhere, and anywhere too..I just want to take pictures though I'm not knowledgeable enough about the strategies on how to take pictures. You sounds like a professional photographer. Keep it up!
Absolutely beautiful! The tiny raindrops are especially remarkable. I can certainly see why Hilary chose this as POTW...nice work!

I have been watching lots of droplets on flowers the last two months--from dew and lots of rain.
Wow, wow and more wow! These photos are stunning!
