Description
Captured 4/12/10, early in the morning, within walking distance of my double-decker dwelling.
These are all zoom shots, so no macros here. A full size view is highly recommended.
Quite a contrast to the usual white and yellow variety of hibiscus I find around my area.
Waterdrops are from some moderate rain overnight. Yes, although it doesn't happen very often, it actually decided to rain around here. Actually, if it hadn't rained I would have stayed in bed, but realizing this was a rare opportunity to capture beautiful rain drops on flora, that's all I needed to get me up and out early to take photos. And I'm glad I did.
I also visited my usual yellow hibiscus bushes for rain drop shots of those. So it turned out to be quite a prolific venture that AM.
Tally ho, thankx for stopping by, and for any and all complimentary comment and favs.

Beautiful colour especially against the blue blue sky; great capture of the detail of the drops on the petals!

These are my absolute favorites!!!
Very fine done.
Pure quality on the flower department once again Harry. Love the droplets.. Brings out the flowers.. Rob
Superb captures of the drops and beautiful hibiscus Harry! I love this flower tho I prefer the pink or yellow myself. Do you have bottle brush trees there? They had them in Chula Vista and I thought they were great trees! Bordered of course by Birds of Paradise!
Wonderfully done!
Wow...when it rains it pours...well done my friend! Particularly like this collage at the zoom.
