Roses & Raindrops {WW #37}

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

This weekend I spent some time at my parents while Kenny did a bunch of working. On Saturday I noted that the roses were pretty and wanted to take photos of them. I was in a rush, so I said to myself I will take them Sunday. Well the next day it was rainy and wet. I almost let that stop me, but you have to remember I am a photography addict. People driving by probably thought I was crazy out there with an umbrella and my camera. Sadly I didn’t have my Macro Lens with me, but I did get some shots with my 35mm. I do love roses and raindrops.

    Love the roses, beautiful photos. If you makes you feel any better, you are not the only one who ends up with the umbrella in the rain taking photographs. We did it over spring break when the tulip displays were so beautiful. We too thought about coming back the next day, but knew we had other plans, so out came the umbrellas. I have some unique photos from that day, its' so easy to forget that all conditions make for great photographs, not just clear skies.
