Ray of Hope

Ray of Hope

One of my favorite times to take photographs is after a gentle summer’s rain. On this particular day it had rained overnight and I went outside as the sun was coming up. Armed with my macro lens and a star filter I captured this pretty raindrop on a dogwood leaf. The gift was the sunbeam in the background as the sun was rising above the trees. May you always start each day…with a Ray of Hope.

    really great mood and setting and of course execution - when I saw the thumbnail it look like a whale in the deep ocean - has that sort of stillness to it—very nice – Dave

    You have such a way with words. Love the write-up that you did on this photo. Are any of these write-ups on the back of the cards?

  • Renee Dawson replied

    Thanks so much Sandy. No, the cards are blank inside. The words will be included on the front of the image – only when they are included on the image itself.
