    Raindrops reflecting tiny images of their surroundings – gorgeous. ❤

    Such raindrops would be a happy sign for me. I hope they are for you too.

    Rain, and snow, and ice…they are very pretty!

  4. Alice's avatar Alice says:

    Definitely represents January 2024 in Massachusetts…in abundance! Wet, wild & windy.

  5. Robin's avatar Robin says:

    Very pretty, especially with the snow on the ground. 🙂 And yet… it doesn’t seem right to see raindrops on your blog in January.

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Thank you, Robin. Well, traditionally, we often have had a ‘January thaw’ so I guess we could say that was it. Now we’re heading into our traditional ‘deep freeze’ this week. Still, the temps overall are running about 10º above average and that is quite non-traditional.

    Amazing! You have quite an eye! 😊

    A beautiful capture of a wintry wet day

    Beautiful, but it looks very cold. 🙂

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Actually, it wasn’t too bad, about 10C. Today is the start of a week of below freezing weather, with one day that’ll be frigid even by my standards!

    Who doesn’t like raindrops on a ‘whatever’ — especially when they’re as beautifully presented as these!

  10. The raindrop seem magical.

    If there were a photo to represent my mood this weekend, this is it. Peaceful, resting, and taking in the weather (gloomy weather can be perfect sometimes!). Beautiful shot.

  12. Kymber @booomcha's avatar Kymber Hawke says:

    I love this. Beautiful!

  13. Like a lovely crystal necklace!

  14. Raindrops in January. Yikes! In what universe does this happen in New England in January? I guess ours, now. Even fifteen years ago, I wouldn’t have imagined it.

    They look like strung beads! But Eliza, where’s your snow???

  16. Murtagh's Meadow's avatar Murtagh's Meadow says:

    We had raindrops like that too this morning, beautifully captured

  17. Dale's avatar Dale says:

    We had lots of raindrops yesterday, too 😉
    Lovely!

  18. That made me think of ‘stillness’ Eliza. Beautiful x

  19. Love the misty background and pretty raindrops! A wonderful composition.

    Icy raindrops by the looks of it. They reflect the light beautifully.

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Thank you, Kris. Actually, it was close to 50º yesterday when I took this. The cold snow creates the fog when it meets the warmer air. Today is a different matter… back to winter!

  21. Like suspended gems, beautiful!

  22. Widdershins's avatar Widdershins says:

    Raindrops … on roses and whiskers on … well, you know haw the rest goes. 😀 … lovely image. 😀

  23. We should not be photographing raindrops in New England in January. But we are. Nice composition and capture, Eliza. Looks like April. 🙂

  24. Our gardens will flourish this season. Your shot sums it up perfectly a very wet winter.

  25. An interesting photo, Eliza.
    Wishing you good health and happy times in 2024.

    Gotta love raindrops. 😊

  27. pbmgarden's avatar pbmgarden says:

    Your photography is so thoughtful. Beautiful the way the drops all seem to be so full and ready to release, yet they hang on.

  28. This photo is one of the reasons I love viewing others’ blogs on my computer screen and not my cell phone, to really look at those drops and the reflections on them! Great shot, Eliza!

  29. tomwhelan's avatar tomwhelan says:

    Pretty drops, and the forest background adds context.

  30. Awesome to have all the vertical trees out of focus in the back while the horizontal front is sharp with the droplets. NICE!

  31. Jane Lurie's avatar Jane Lurie says:

    Excellent image, Eliza. Well chosen aperture and focal points. This really gives me a sense of place.

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Thank you kindly, Jane. I wanted the snow and trees in the background for that reason. Fog in winter with snow cover, plus raindrops, not a common occurrence!

    Like a secret hides some where in the fog.
