Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall

A wonderful summer thunderstorm rolled through late in the afternoon, giving all the plants around the house a nice soaking.  The vinca flowers I planted on the porch had beads and drops of water all over the petals and shiny leaves.  I decided to grab the camera for a couple quick shots.  I might as well confess now that digital SLR technical settings remain a mystery to me, as I taught myself photography on traditional film SLR's....this means most of my compositions are going to rely on the onboard camera sensors as this old dog learns new tricks.  

Stay dry...and stay behind the lens!

Psalm 65:9-10

Deuteronomy 32:2
