A rainy spring day caused droplets to form on this aloe succulent my wife had planted in our backyard. I used a Canon 100mm macro plus an EP25 extension tube to capture this intimate look. I find many people putting their cameras away on rainy days; for most pros, the opposite is true - bad weather ususally means great images!

Well done, Don. I like the details in the droplets.

Monte, Basstrax and Dimitrios, thanks for the nice comments. The best part of making this image was that I literally walked out on my back deck and became absorbed in the world of macro! I don't do a lot of macro in my daily work, so it is fun to explore the world this way!
