Good morning Peeps

Another view of my tiny world today, This time the reflection is of the giant Yukka plant in my neighbours garden. It looks quite tropical when the sky is blue although as you can see when I took this shot it was pretty miserable.

To give some idea of size here the bud on the top left of the shot is about 3/4 cm in length.

Not as colourful as yesterdays shot but I like the subdued tones here.

Framed and resized in Photofiltre.

TTFN Have a great day, luv Smurfie

Just a wonderful shot, Helen.
Excellent sharpness on the raindrops; they look like crystal balls! I can even see a spider's web complete with its own droplet!
The inner faded border makes it special.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I just love macros of water droplets. I've never tried it. Macro isn't my forte (I guess kittens are..haha)
Great work!
Tracy

Lovely macro and amazing job to have captired the reflections so clearly.
I also like the framing effect. I must learn how to do that!
