Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: droplet

A few years ago, I used to take a lot of water droplet photos, some of which are in an album here and on Flickr. In more recent years, I guess I have just moved on to photographing other things. This particular photo has been floating around my hard drive since 14 May 2010. Happened to notice it last night and decided to post it this morning, just for something different and something that was a complete change of colour. I can't remember where I took it. The original photo is on one of my external hard drives and I didn't feel like trying to find out where it was taken, That day, several of us had been NW of Calgary and NW of Cochrane, to visit Keith and Sandy Logan's acreage. Not sure if I saw these flowers in their garden, or maybe I had flowers at home and took the photo later that evening. Actually, just realized that flowers would not likely be in bloom here mid-May, so maybe this photo was taken at home after all.

I'm posting early (again) today, as I am taking my camera with me when I go for my afternoon volunteer shift. I'm really hoping that the very strong winds will have died down by late afternoon, so that I can go and look for Prairie Crocuses (which I have still not seen yet this year). Would be nice if the grey sky could brighten up, too : ) Took this photo of a water droplet on a petal, back in mid-March. It always amazes me how the drops retain their perfect roundness with nothing to support them from below.

Some beautiful winter artwork created on a melting icicle down in Fish Creek Park. At the widest part, this was about one third of an inch across : ) The sun was shining yesterday, otherwise my camera just won't take images like this. This is one of the things about winter that I love! Today is overcast, with just a patch of blue sky and I can't decide whether to drive part way across the city to try and see the Mourning Doves again. Not much point if there is no light over there, but who knows? Also, I need to go to the Walk-in Clinic to get a prescription refill. I always dislike the hours of waiting!

Wasn't sure whether to post this, but I can always delete it if I change my mind. Took this last weekend, when there was black ice everywhere. Made for a treacherous walk.

One advantage of the rain!
