Last week I woke up to a paddock filled with droplets, the water weighing down the seed heads on the grass. It was so bright when the sun shone that I couldn’t look at it directly and the small childlike part of me wanted to run through it and get soaked, kicking water everywhere.
When I went inside to get my camera, even without dancing with the droplets, I was soaked to my knees and my shoes were so wet that throwing them into the shower to clean off the mud and grass seeds was the drier option.
I changed shoes, grabbed my camers and then carefully moved through the grass, taking photos.
After the drama of last week, taking photos was restful and I was able to forget the comments and reputation destroying that I was witnessing here.
My thigh high grass was laid over, the weight of the water much too much for it.
I may have soaked 2 pairs of jeans and 2 sets of shoes, but it was worth it.

So pretty.
Water droplets are like ephemeral diamonds and in many ways far more precious.
Wow, gorgeous photos. Definitely worth it!
Some really beautiful images 🙂 I kept thinking, “Oh! That’s my favourite!” and then I’d see the next one 🙂
Definitely worth the wet jeans and shoes!

Inspiring images, perfect for a Monday morning!
Oh these are so beautiful! I *love* the droplets. You, my dear, are very talented. 🙂 x
WOW!! You have a real talent there with those photos!!
It has been that kind of week or more down here hasnt it?
Definitely been many photo opportunities.
Just gorgeous!
They are all beautiful, but the 3rd one is my favourite!
They would make some beautiful Xmas cards 🙂
They are amazing photos, truly beautiful.
Ha Ha, you need a wetsuit and rubber boots.
These are amazing. I keep trying to get droplets and I’ve managed a few, but nowhere near as pretty as your photos.
These are lovely! Morning light is full of magic.
Great photos. Unfortunately just realised they’re unclickable 🙁
Canberra hasn’t had much good emotion for photo-taking this week (rain, rain, rain), typical capital country I guess. :->
Only unclickable because of the settings – they’re fullsize here on the blog anyway, clicking doesn’t make them larger. I try to do that so nothing gets stolen.
I love the droplets. Thank you for posting them. You could go out naked next time would save on the washing!
xoxoxoxo
Gosh these photos are stunning!
I LOVE the day after the rain – everything seems prettier!
What gorgeous photos! Well worth the soaking, I’d say. Lovely! xo
Beautiful photos. Nature at her best. Sorry to hear about the bullying, I somehow missed all that xo
Nothing like some beautiful pictures to put what is important into perspective.
*Raises glass to a better week
They’re great pics! I was going to go do some water droplet pics myself the other day but decided I’d rather dry shoes… second guessing that decision now lol
What a beautiful way to spend the day!
Beautiful pictures. Glad you had a chance to get out with your camera.
