Friday Shoot-Out - Water

~
Lots of rain here this past week, so you get some pictures from around the house... and a couple of old pictures of our town. All except the older pictures can be clicked on for a larger view.

I put the water on for tea.

Raindrops on the vinca.


Raining on the salvia & verbena


Rain on the barrel lid reflecting a bit of light.


I was cleaning the bird watering hole which is a shallow metal pan. Drops of water dripped from the water spout and I took a few shots.




After my nerve conduction test and EMG yesterday I went over to the mall for a bit of bargain shopping. This is the center court water fountain... sunlit. Taken with my Sony pocket camera.

An older picture of the Flint River... when my Sony f717 was going bad, so the color isn't quite right.

  10. That drop of water, you captured it at just the right time. Great job.

    I like the photo of the children, my kids did the same in Singapore. not many people let their children do it, including my husband. he said the water is contaminated. I just let my kids have fun at a shopping mall. i just bought a towel there and then.

    Thanks for visiting my site.
