Atop: Raindrops on Roses

Raindrops sit delicately atop a spring rose bud

Atop , this week’s photo challenge theme, can mean so many things and provide hundreds of different perspectives. I decided to go macro and explore raindrops atop roses.

The featured image of this American Beauty rosebud is also submitted for the Macro Moments Challenge: Week 34 “Spring Has Sprung,” hosted by Musin’ with Susan.

Just for luck, since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, here is another lovely rosebud with raindrops atop!

Both images were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone held steady on zoom. Very little post editing was done other than cropping, framing and watermarking.

Consider joining these photo challenges!

Luck o' the IrishEnjoy your St. Patrick’s Day and may the luck o’ the Irish be with ye today!

    Due to being full-time travellers/housesitters, I have limited myself to just using my phone to take photos. Many people do think I have used a far more sophisticated camera like the one I left behind. Love the new technology!! The roses look stunning!
