Rain-Soaked Walk

Here are the rest of the pictures I promised from my walk! I got a lot of pictures of raindrops, since it was sprinkling, and it also had rained the day before. I hope you like them!

I thought the contrast was cool with the new and old leaves

Two different stages of dandelions. Isn't it amazing how you can see the individual seeds?

I love how the raindrops look like little crystal jewels.

like pearls along a strand of grass

I forget what this flower is called, but isn't it just gorgeous?

Little Pockets of Water

Hannah at Find that Creative Spark is having a photography contest, and the theme is water/streams. You're only allowed to edit one thing about your photos. (talk about challenging!)

We have a small stream that runs down our hill to the river in our backyard (I didn't get pictures of the river because there's a ton of poison ivy down there). So I was able to take pictures of the little pockets of water we had left from the rain:

The only thing I did to this picture was flip it.

For this picture, I boosted the contrast so you can see the reflection of the sky and leaves better.

And for this picture I added an effect called "Ortonish" which boosts the contrast and adds a "glow".

I have a lot of other pictures I took on my walk, which I will post soon. Water is lovely, isn't it? I think it's one of my new favorite things to photograph.
