Flower Petals and Raindrops

The geranium I almost killed last winter is blooming. I made an attempt at macro photograpy with my long lens, tripod, and shutter release cable.

The colors ended up a little washed out, probably because I lit it using flourescent lamps—I may try again tomorrow after work if I can get some good sunlight.

I also tried taking pictures of the ten-minute downpour this afternoon, but despite my repeated attempts I still haven’t quite been able to capture what I like about the look of a rainy day.
