HIGH TEA; & SUNSHOWER

High Tea (3-2-14 011v2) above was taken right after one of the two big rainstorms we had at the beginning of this month. (Unfortunately, though it's certainly helped our gardens, we need many more such storms to end the drought. And none seem to be forthcoming.) I really like looking at new rose leaves in any weather, but with rain drops on them even more so. I find pix of them challenging to crop, however, given the wild tumble they're always in. And the odd distractions that wind up peeking out between and from behind leaves. But it's all part of the fun of "working on photos" as I tend to think of the process.

Here's another version of the same pic, Sunshower (3-2-14 011v3) below, that was obviously heavily fussed with (in both Photoshop and Microsoft Picture Manager):
