Beautiful series of photos, Hilary, with the raindrops dobbies dripping from the subjects . . . and

Oops... time has slipped away, once again. We've had visitors over the course of the past week or so. That's my excuse for my most recent blogging lapse and I'm sticking to it! My last post illustrated some of the rainy weather we'd been experiencing. It's been lovely and sunny since, though dobbies it's raining lightly as I type. The photos below were taken shortly after bringing dobbies home a hanging basket of fuchsia. It rained (and hailed) that very day but when the raindrops ended and the sun came out, my camera was drawn to the droplet-laden blossoms. There's also a short video which I had meant to include with the previous post but forgot about. It shows some of the precipitation which greeted our brand new fuchsia. It wouldn't surprise me at all if next year, that basket yields sunflowers and peanut plants. The squirrels enjoy burying our offerings in it. I hope you enjoy the blossoms.

Beautiful series of photos, Hilary, with the raindrops dobbies dripping from the subjects . . . and love the quotations, especially the protection one . . . lol. My that was quite a downpour you had.

Those dobbies are some beautiful droplet pictures, especially so because of the incredible fuchsia color! Lovely, Hilary. And yes, I saw the chair going over when I watched that video. :-) August 7, 2014 at 8:32 AM

What's It All About?
Hilary dobbies Maynooth, dobbies Ontario, Canada I love wordplay. Puns and double entendres have always tickled my funnybone. Colourful and whimsical imagery also hold great appeal for me. This blog is about a bit of both. If you're interested, have a look over here which is where I first posted the sunflower found in The Smitten Image header. View my complete profile
