One of my favorite subjects — raindrops on poppy plants. This is one of more than 1,200 shots of raindrops. Too many? April, 2008.

This poppy appears to be yellow but it is actually a pale white color. It is reflecting the yellow and orange of the surrounding poppies. Taken with a manual focus 55mm macro lens.

Flowers Near Home–Poppy and Raindrops
The poppy covered with raindrops was from the backyard. I added a layer of paper texture and painted over the texture with a watercolor brush. April, 2012.

Poppy and Dewdrop
This is one of my favorite early morning images. This poppy, in the shade in my backyard, is still closed, but the sun is reflecting back from the brick wall. A single drop of dew is ready to fall.

Poppy and Raindrops
This is an early morning macro shot of a poppy in my backyard. It had rained the previous evening and this poppy had broken away from the stem. The raindrops seemed to weigh it down even more.

Yellow Orange Glow
Poppies are difficult to photograph. They are in their glory in the direct sun but that is often a harsh and flat light. They are most dramatic when back lighted but that is a challenge to expose properly. This a macro shot of poppy petals with a very shallow depth of field. With so little in focus, the yellow and orange seems to glow even more.
