307 Stuck
I am fond of the different air plants that stick themselves to the trees here. This one is stuck to one of my favorite crepe myrtle trees that has beautiful bark. Seems like I took this a very long time ago as it hasn't rained here in a while. While we are in our dry season, our rainfall is below average and brush fires are becoming a common occurance.

Really like this image. At first glance, I thought it had tiny flowers on the tips of the greenery. But that is rain dripping from the plant. Nice shot! Love the contrasts between the bark of the tree and the green plant. Then add the rain drops and it puts the icing on the cake.

This is great. It makes me think of sea anemones.

That's lovely, the water drops are fabulous and the bark is such a cool combo of color and texture.

Looks wonderful just after the shower, you captured the freshness perfectly.

I really like this one! I've never seen one of those, and it's very interesting. (Mistletoe is all we get here. Yawn.)

Lovely shot. The rain falling behind the subject, and the raindrops on the leaves, just make it beautiful.
