Spring in Utah is an interesting thing. In April, the weather varied between temperatures in the 60s and 70s to snow. The mountains surrounding the Salt Lake Valley are still covered in snow, and the last week we have had more rain than we usually see the entire month of May. But that might mean that we won’t have another rainstorm until July. That’s just the way it goes.
With the rain yesterday, I had fun capturing the raindrops on my tulips. Rain can be tricky to photograph, but raindrops on objects are a lot of fun. They give things a fresh feeling.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR MORE) FEATURING RAINDROPS.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Your tulip is gorgeous, Nancy 🙂
Thanks, Hammad!
Lovely! 💜
Thanks!
What a beautiful shot.
A great theme for this time of year in Britain, and Utah too, I see! That said, I have gone back to this time last year, in Japan, where I spent a week in rain and loved it https://travelwithintent.com/2019/05/09/rainy-night-in-tokyo/
Beautiful image, Nancy. A very apt subject for today.. here is in the South East of England it is doing nothing but rain. A really dismal day xx
Nothing like “raindrops on roses” or on many other things as well. We’ve had plenty rain and I love drop photos but unfortunately I’ve already posted for the day, so mine would be linked to a recent post, not a new one. I’ll think about whether I want to double post or not. 😀. Very tempting.

Fabulous tulip shot Nancy 🙂
Thanks!
But that tulip was trying to hide in a rosebush, wasn’t it?
Yes, yes it was. The roses haven’t bloomed yet, so it failed miserably.
Lovely fresh image, Nancy.
Thanks, Sylvia!
My take on this week’s theme is :
What a great theme that inspires beautiful images!
Hi Nancy,
Here is my response for your wonderful topic.
I believe it was Henri Cartier-Bresson that said only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the rain to photograph flowers. Not true at all… https://photographyocd.com/2019/05/04/transitioning/
Love the rain drops staying on leaves and flowers. Raindrops are hard to come by in California. In the mountains it drops 10 degrees when rain falls, so I rather be inside. This is a waterflow in Hortus, in the North of the Netherlands.

Hi Nancy,
I am joining in for the first time. We’ve been have a lot of rain around here too. It did make for a nice photo of my hosta:)) Here is my link.

What is it about raindrops on flowers!?! Your photo is so pretty!
Thanks! Ah, nature. It’s a wonderful and amazing thing. 🙂
It’s delightful how much a scenery changes after rain, and raindrops everywhere make wonderful accessories to the freshness. Your picture captures it perfectly, Nancy! I love the theme.
Thanks, Anita! I love everything about rainstorms: watching the clouds gather, hearing the rain hit the roof and the sound of thunder, and the beauty after the storm passes. It’s all so wonderful.
Here’s my contribution,
Going in the garage for this one 🙂
Love the colours in your image – and as Anthony T. Hincks has said – “Flowers are never lonely when they have raindrops as friends.” – that is just what your images tell me.
Very true. Thanks!
