52 Photos - raindrops keep falling...

Riding home from our weekend at Away
fresh air - raindrops - Sunday afternoon


feeling the lull and wanting to nap
but then - as I watched the raindrops fall on the windshield
it came to me -


playing with my camera was a lot more fun.
And it even took me a couple tries to realize I needed to manually focus on the water drops.

Have a great day!

    Yes, there she is with three in a row :) Wonderful idea to play with your camera in the car. I have car sickness issues, so I am not sure how well I would do with that.

    This looks like a great combination of water drops and cropping. Love the top one best, but both great shots.

    The sound of raindrops and the motion of the car - both make me sleepy. We are getting rain here, too. xx

    Fun capture, considering rain and getaways usually don't mesh too well.

    Rain is forecast all week here -- and a nap sounds really tempting. :) Enjoy your long weekend, Karen.
