Eliza Waters 
Stunning, Eliza!
Thank you, Dale!
Pleasure is mine. 😊
Those large drops capture the ephemeral beauty of water well.
Thank you, Anne.
That’s about the amount of rain west Texas has received in past months. I’m sure they’d appreciate your droplets both for their aesthetic beauty and as a possible precursor of “a bit more, if you please”!
Knowing of drought does heighten my appreciation of our current abundance. I feel quite fortunate. Hoping for drought relief for the Southwest.
Beautiful 💦
Thank you, Karen. x
Simply beautiful, Eliza.
Thank you, Carrie. ❤
💧 What beautiful shades of blue…
Thank you, Barbara. 🙂
That life giving water. Beautiful photo Eliza. Frame it!
Thank you very much, Maria! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous shot! Love it!
Thanks much! x
Mesmerizing. Soothing shades. So interesting how the main leaf veins come out of the funnel and grow/flow outwards. Maybe most of the drops will meet.
Thank you, Alice. 🙂
Not only enchanting, but so needed.
True, grateful for the 1/2″ over two days. We’ll take it! Thanks, Laurie!

Beautiful water drops Eliza 💙
Thank you, Xenia. 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Sandy!
Welcome, Eliza!
Those droplets are beautiful
Thank you, Karina. I love how on certain plants, water beads up so perfectly.
Beautiful but such is my state of my mind that I read the drops as tears at first.
❤
So lovely! Why is it that rain typically seems to come in “too much” or “too little” these days??
Thank you, Debbie! I suspect climate change – the atmosphere is not as stable as it used to be, leading to more extreme weather.
Raindrops and diamonds – both beautiful.
It was pretty dazzling this morning when the sun came up. 🙂 Thanks, Judy!
Exquisite capture!!🙂
Thank you very much! x
Lovely, Eliza. I was looking at ours and thinking of the same image.
Thanks, Steve. I love it when rain beads up on certain plants.
How wonderfully blue the hosta is!
Yes, similar to the powdery covering on blueberries, it wears off by late summer, however, in spring it really is a blue beauty. I wish I remembered the cultivar for you, but alas, my record keeping is abysmal!
Mine too!
Lovely raindrops. 😊
Thank you, Pepper!
It looks like you caught this in the cool of the day. It’s lovely.
Thank you, Belinda, a nice rain helps. 🙂
The blue makes a perfect platform for the raindrops I think. I don’t think I ever noticed leaves like this on any hostas we have. Do I need to pay more attention to them 🙂 or look for a specific variety?
My spouse answered my question…I need to pay more attention. They don’t look as beautiful as yours but maybe a little rain and cloudiness will transform them. 🙂
This is a particular variety of hybrid, which happens to have a blue tint. Most of the larger leaved hybrids have a tough exterior, so rain does tend to pool on the surface. The softer-leaved, smaller varieties don’t do this.
Very nice Eliza!
Thank you, Reed!
Heavenly, Eliza! I think I see you reflecting in one of the two largest water drops. 😉
Could be! Thanks, Donna!
Love the blue! We are in desperate need of H20 here!
Thanks, Denise. I read that the SW drought is the worst in 1200 years. Yikes!
The sight of water droplets always makes be pause and smile, wonderful shot. I am now back in Seattle, and we have had a cool & wet spring ~ although I have to admit I was happy not to experience the past 5-6 weeks of this weather 🙂 but I am enjoying the rain and water for the next couple days before sunshine is set to return.
The PNW certainly has been catching up on water from last year. My BIL just moved back to the area in North Bend, just to the east. Haven’t been there in over 30 years… I expect it has changed a lot!
The North Bend area is beautiful, but in the past 25 years I’ve been in this area I am stunned by the changes 🙂 I think your BIL will be happy ~ and you can come up for visits which is even better 🙂
Yes! I hope to some day. It sounds like a beautiful place.
Amazing photo Eliza
Thank you, Vinny!
