I was in awe of Randy's shot of this balloon flower and for two reasons: (1) I love balloon flowers and (2) you can see the reflection of the sky in the top water drop!
Just a country boy. I like simple things and honest people. I make a choice to try and make every day the best it can be and fill it with as much pleasure and happiness as I can possibly stand.

Just beautiful. I love water drops or rain drops on flower blooms.
Beautiful shade of blue.
Beautiful raindrops! I love that photo.
It looks like a big magnifying glass on that flower! Beautiful!
Very lovely photo. Did you hold the camera still or did it have some support. I'm too wobbly to take close-ups unless the camera is supported...
Awe.... Gorgeous, Randy. I love seeing the big drops of water---after a rain. You captured a GREAT shot.

This is just sublime, Randy! Jaw droppingly so.

It looks like you have captured the sky. Lovely.
Very cool! You have a great day too!
I am glad you re-posted this photo. I tried to comment on it earlier, but could not open the post. The picture is stunning.
Rain drop-dead gorgeous, Randy!!! You inspire me to take better pictures ;)

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments and so many of them too. Would you believe I almost didn’t post this photo? I’m glad you all enjoy it.
Andrew,
I just held the camera, but thankfully my camera has one of those shaky hands things that compensates for the movement.
Les,
My posts have been acting really screwy lately. I even had an old draft that got published some how, still haven’t figured that one out yet.

I love this picture for the same reasons Jamie does, plus, this is an unusual and beautiful angle for looking at platycodon.
