after the rain . . .

[earthmother45]

It stopped raining soon after we got up this morning and when I went into the bathroom I could see some great light in the Atrium Secret Garden. I quickly made coffee, got dressed and went outside. Water was dripping and shining everywhere. I took a couple of pictures of my reflection in the mirrored mosaics on the walls. Then I played around

Thank you. There was a lot of movement with the water drops everywhere, but you may be noticing the little round mirrors dangling down on threads behind me in the bathroom window that are reflecting in the mirror mosaic in front of me.

Such a bright green!

Love the mirror and your reflection, too.

Thank you. I like the distortion and exaggeration, but also that you can still make out what they are. That is very appealing to me.

That bright green is a new sedum I got for the secret garden. It really is that green.

Ya see? That's the kind of thing makes you an artist. I'd never have thought of taking those photos. Your artist's eye is well-matched by your artist's mind.

Thank you! Photography has slowly been opening up my mind and eyes to many things I'd just passed by before.

I think Gaia is Blessing you in appreciation.

Beautiful. I like the second one best but I really like that sun ray you got in the first one too.

The camera lens caught some sunlight reflection somewhere overhead and made those nice rays. Those rays are in the foreground, but my face is illuminated by the light in the background...I like how that happened. That's my favorite of the two.
