Rainy Day

Not like we haven't had enough rain last week, but it rained some more today. I decided it was a good opportunity to take some more rain photos. I wasn't able to get any good shots of the rain splashing on the ground or in the puddles. Once the rain let up a bit, I walked around the backyard. I found this rose leaf with some good droplets on it. This is a really pretty flower. I like all the flowers my mom has in the backyard. They don't all bloom at the same time, which makes the scenery ever changing. I love shots where I can really make it look completely different than what I had intended. The garden spider (not the black & yellow one) made a web stretching from the bush to the shed. The rain had damaged most of it, but a little bit was left. The spider was next to a leaf all huddled up (as usual), but had some water drops on it. I was happy that I got a clear picture of this small piece of web. My camera didn't want to focus on it so I had it focus on my hand. With an autofocus camera, you have to help it out at times. You can view more of my pictures in my flickr account. It's always available by clicking the flickr badge in the sidebar on the mainpage.
