Today's Flowers: Wet - wild - and beautiful!



This post is a runner up in POST OF THE DAY at Authorblog/David McMahon! YEAH!

Please visit Today's Flowers and see more lovely flowers! You can also participate yourself!

A bouquet of wildflowers I picked today, during heavy rain. Since I forgot my umbrella, I was as wet as the flowers when I came home.

I have to say the flowers looked much prettier than me.......

I love the way your flowers look covered in rain. You captured them so well.

Arija sa...

Your photography just blows me away! The first dranched buncj and then the wonder of wonders, the fairy vanishing in a star of light on the blue flower in the second, a marvellous illustration for a fairytale.

George sa...

The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I like the way they are covered with raindrops, although I'm sorry you had to get wet taking these wonderful pictures.

Beautiful,lovely and colorfl flowers..Really enjoyed..Do check my another blog also i.e.Unseen Rajasthan

Maria Berg sa...

The second one perfect with the sum as a star glittering in the sun. Flowers do look there best just after a rain and the sun comes forward.

Dette var pene og duse farger sammen. Jammen har det regnværet gjort godt :-)

Anne-Berit sa...

Var nesten redd for at det kraftige regnet dere fikk ville legge alt av blomster flatt hos dere,men det har det heldigvis ikke gjort.Nydelige bilder av vakre blomster.Vanndråpene gjorde alt enda finere,om mulig,og fargene var kjempefine.
Ha en fin søndagskveld.

Mary Elizabeth sa...

Lovely

Anonym sa...

The water droplets add on texture and interest in those lovely flowers :)

Reader Wil sa...

Valkyrien, caprifol på norsk er det samme på nederlandsk; "kamperfoelie" Begge to kommer fra italiensk "caprifoglio" som betyder "goatsleaf". På fransk og tysk er det også goatsleaf( Chèvrefeuille, og Geiszblatt).Kun på engelsk er det annerledes enn de andre europeiske språk.

Sandi McBride sa...
