raindrops

Last week has been very hot and uncomfortable. So when tuesday ended in a thunderstorm. I went out into the garden and got thoroughly soaked. It was wonderful. The raindrops were big and soft and left my skin tingling.
I decided to try and photograph the rain. I went back inside and got my camera and an umbrella.
The result is not too spectacular, but you can see the raindrops, small spheres of water in the air, catching the light.
I was a bit surprised how few and far between they were in the split second of the flash, but the surface of the water in the pool shows how heavy the rain was at that moment.
