Late yesterday afternoon and early evening we had quite the monsoon storm at our house and was the second storm in less than 24 hours. I had been sitting on our patio drinking a glass of wine and eating some cheese and crackers enjoying the rain and cooler temperature. It rained for over an hour and at times was quite the downpour. As I was watching the radar, I saw there was a break in the storm before the next round of rain came. Perfect chance to do some macro photography of raindrops on my elephant ear plant which is a succulent! Quickly, I went inside and grabbed my camera and tripod. Less than 10 minutes after I started shooting, I heard thunder and decided not to chance getting soaked in a downpour, especially since the rain cover for my camera was inside, and I went back onto our covered patio. About 5 minutes later, it started to rain again. By the time the rain stopped again, it was too dark to do any more macro photography of raindrops.

Playing Like a 5-Year Old
Some of my best photos have been when I was playing like a 5-year old. You know, not letting anything getting in your way of creativity. Nothing is right or wrong.
It is now monsoon season in the Southwest. We finally had an incredible downpour at our house today. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to get outside with my macro lens and photograph raindrops.
Hope you enjoy!
