A single drop of water. So small and overlooked. Yet heavy enough to leave an impression on a delicate rose petal. Our massive ecosystem, a fragile element of everyday life.

Here is another one from my macro collection. Again, I’m my own worse critic so wasn’t too sure about this one so I’ll let you decide.
Fluid and frozen drops on a rose leaf in our garden. Have a look at my other photos.

All proceeds from sales from will go to the / TorontoHumaneSociety You love the roses – so do I. I wish / The sky would rain down roses, as they rain / From off the shaken bush. Why will it not? / Then all the valley would be pink and white / And soft to tread on. They would fall as light / As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be / Like sleeping and like waking, all at once! Roses by George Eliot

A cream rose after some rain, with a gold finish – processed in CS3. (As usual I have a number of versions … how does one know when to stop?!!)
Woooot!! Featured in: Extreme Close-ups! / AND Dimensions / AND / A Fascinating Purple / AND / Canon vs Nikon / As Part of My FIRST TRIPLE FEATURE!! Now this water drop has a very strange story behind it…I guess you could say that I really am noticing things that no normal person would notice!! rofl I washed my sink and taps this morning…with a J-Cloth…basically a blue and white fiber cloth that you use a few times and throw away. As I finished rinsing everything down I spotted a tiny water drop suspended from the end of the faucet…dripping off of a few strands of fiber that had caught when I wiped it down…this is the shot that I captured after I made a dash for my camera before that drop dropped:) / Canon 500D Sigma EX DG 70mm Macro and extension tubes..manual focus…natural light from the kitchen window above the sink:)
My mom, Charmian, is the most AMAZING person – warm, talented, compassionate, energetic, accomplished, enthusiastic, sympathetic, witty, intelligent and loving. She can sail a yacht and play the drums. She cycles in bike races, and thinks nothing of cycling 80km just for fun. She can do woodwork, paint pictures and so many other things that I can’t list them all. And she can garden – her garden is extraordinary, full of lavish beauty and breathtakingly delightful. If I was any good at landscape photography I would have shown you just how good she is, but seeing as I’m not, I thought I would show you just one of the hundreds of stunning roses she grows. Taken after a morning of rain at her house in Magoebaskloof, South Africa. Featured in 1:1 Macro Photography / Featured in Extreme Close Ups / —November 2009 -- thank you very very much!
