Water Droplets
Sunday Stills is all about Water Droplets this week and I confess to having tried, with varying success, to capture that moment just before they drop, hence the title of today’s post.
Before you give up, think about why you held on so long.

I’ve also enjoyed trying to capture water drops on flowers.
I captured these drops of dew a few years ago and still love them!
Then there’s the rain drops and the sunroom. I love the abstract look!
What’s not to love about water droplets?
Keep holding on for as long as you can!
Thanks for joining me today, it’s been fun looking at drops of Jupiter, I mean water 🙂
Enjoy your Sunday and let me know if you also try to capture the perfect, but elusive, to me anyway, drop shot. How did I go?

Lovely pics, as well as a great title that’s pretty apt, considering I’ve been writing novels for a bit now and am considering putting it on the back burner since things have been slow. Thanks for this!

I found your post on Twitter, Debbie! You really have the lens captures of water droplets down pat, so many gorgeous ones! I remember that song Drops of Jupiter. I end up capturing the drops better with my phone zoomed in. Yeah, not patient…I’ve been known to get the spray bottle out and hurry the droplet process along, LOL!
