Raindrops keep falling on my head... African Daisy decked in jeweled raindrops...

Another from the other day when I was out photographing my African daisies during the rain... this blossom was about half-way open and had a few fresh raindrops in the center but almost all of the droplets are on the very edges of the petals because it rained all night on the closed blossom.

View large on black for a mind blowing experience. (may be a slight exaggeration) :-)

(This and other images that will be included in my upcoming gallery show are in the Gallery Show Feb 2010 set if you care to have a look... and if you enjoy photo blogs, mine has additional images you might enjoy.)

Note that I've been told to go back and mark my photos as mine to guard against the unscrupulous folks out there in the world around us... none of my Flickr friends/contacts fall into that category!
