It’s a beautiful haiga, Georgia — peaceful — and I love how you captured those tiny raindrops in your photo!

    You’d be so proud, Georgia — finally got warm enough to be out for a “pleasure walk” and I got all kinds of *awesome* puddle photos! Not as pretty as capturing branches full of little diamonds (!!!) but ya gotta start somewhere! and I thought of you — seeing all those gorgeous reflections 🙂

      Ah … envy envy 🙂 well I’m happy for you really … it was about time that the weather started settling a little … as for little diamonds … there was a time I’d go searching for raindrops and put the macro on to catch them … so my archives fortunately have something in them for these occasions … that photo was taken last January and I never used it because it was too empty and the sky was a yucky washed out yellow. I’ve go few puddles though in my archives and have to keep going back to the same old ones! Envy! Envy!

        Well, they’re nowhere near as pretty as your reflections, so don’t be too envious yet 😉
        
        It was just good to get out and take a decent walk for once. Phew! 😀

        I now what you mean … went for a walk yesterday as well along the lake (along with about half of Trentino I’m afraid) … and it was delightful. 🙂

        lol … well it’s getting towards the season when I’ll have to go out early in the morning if I want to take decent photographs, but it’ll be warmer too!

This is very pretty and as a delicate as raindrops clinging to twigs.

  Thanks … you’re right but today we have a bright sunny day and it’s very pleasant for a change … lots of promise and the first flowers (like violets) have begun to pop up!

    It is really lovely, cara, you could have a painting made from it or that editting they do that shows brush strokes.
