After the Rain


When I went outside of my house to water my plants early yesterday morning I noticed how cool the reflected light coming from the house looked on the water drops that were resting on the leaves of my avocado plant.  I ran back into the house to grab my camera which I fitted with my macro lens.  

It was really, really hard with the limited available light in the dark.  Some shots that I envisioned were impossible to achieve without a tripod and I'm just too lazy to bust it out.  I took a gazillion pictures and when I looked at them on my computer I realized that most hadn't come out.  I went back out to try again . . . it had become a skosh brighter by then, making it a little easier.
