For today’s photo essay I decided that flowers and raindrops are appropriate. It has been raining a lot recently, and I don’t mind. I like summer rains, I like the smell of the city and of the forest after them. I like how the raindrops decorate the summer flowers for hours, making their colours appear even more alive. I also feel more alive after the rain, and in many occasions I take my camera and head out to capture the details. It’s the time of hydrangeas right now, and they look majestic; that’s why there are so many of them. I just couldn’t help it!

I hope you will enjoy this refreshing gallery!
