After the rain

One of the best times (if not the ultimate best) to go shoot macro is after the rain. You get that fresh air, vivid colours, all plants are freshly washed and clean and of course tons and tons of waterdrops. If you are lucky to get some sun right after you can catch some amazing bokeh too.
Your shoes will hate you for it, but nobody is asking them.

Clovers are champions in holding the waterdrops. No matter how small or big, they are this perfect sphere in silver colour.

Boo!

This is Euhorbia flower. There is many types growing around. All are treated as weeds. Some have really beautiful foliage though!

Normally very fluffy seeds, after the rain look like a wet chicken :)

And of course grasses.
Fresh, lush grass everywhere!
On a closeup you can see that even grass is hairy.

And lastly a wild growing Sage. Among all the green and some yellow flowers it was very visible from a distance. Only one bush though.

... looks like it's gonna rain again.

Bonus song for today, it is Saturday night after all :p
Travis - Blue Flashing Light
year 2000

Saturday evening
Saturday evening at a quarter to five
I would see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spilling alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrewin' and it's sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore
So
You better hold on
'Cause it's Saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like shit
'Cause they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever
Call me a name and I'll hit you again
You're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a whore
Talked to your daddy in that tone of voice
There's a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room
And you hide in your room
Thinking how you could settle the score
But
Saturday night at a quarter to six
And your friends are all out
And you're live in the sticks
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Blue flashing light last Saturday night
Brought the neighbours all out on the street
They watched as the firemen carried you out
And they stared at each other's feet
Now everyone sees and yet nobody says
How we're all just afraid of the heat
But
It's Saturday night
And I'm lying alone in the bed that I made
Disconnected the phone
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Never bloody ever
Never
Never do
Never do
