Weekend SnapshotI wasn't planning a weekend snapshot for this week as I was supposed to spend the weekend in Madrid, coming back late today. But below you see the reason why our trip was postponed: the rain in Spain! which is most welcomed (and needed!) but not as a companion for a trip where we intended to do a lot of walking and sightseeing (plus pictures!), so we'll wait for another time with lots of sunshine.
Z is for zooming in ...Alphabet Photo Challenge

This is a pelargonium which came with the house, so the plant is at least 15 years old.

ReplyDeleteGorgious ! Happy to see something else than a Zebra, lol !
ReplyDeleteIf you can look at my post about our very first trip through the States in 1971, I think we were the first European tourists !
Gorgeous image - the color, the water drops - just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteZooming! GREAT choice! Beautiful shot too! (i never would have thought of that!)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!! And such a lovely flower :D
ReplyDeleteI love that shot,Mar!!! And I'm sorry if sometimes I cannot leave comments. I am still in vacation that's why;) Happy WS!
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. For some reason I love seeing droplets of water on a flower or any plant for that matter.
ReplyDeletefabulous "zoomed" photo! the colors are amazing
ReplyDeleteWe have had rain here in Southern California, which is also very welcomed, but very unusual!
Those are beautiful flowers and it's astounding how old the plant is.
ReplyDeleteHope your trip will push through soon.

Oh Mar...that is just prettier than all get out!!! And such a vivid photo with the zoom. You did good. But that option doesn't surprise me in the least...ALL your photos are tops.
ReplyDeleteIt came with the house? Whoa...I'd buy it, rofl.
Happy Monday to you.
BEAUTIFUL! I Love seeing flowers with rain or water on them....This is a lovely lovely picture, Mar!
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE---All of it!
Simply beautiful flower i like it. Happy WS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! I love freshly-rained on flowers. I can't get over the blue in the background either.
ReplyDeleteWow.. I love the rain drops on the flower..your camera does a great job with zooming in close to the picture..thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteThis picture is gorgeous,they always are ...
ReplyDeleteThis was fun doing huh? Hope to see you around!
Another clever take on the alphabet challenge and what an exquisite flower. Great shot of the raindrops.
ReplyDeleteZoom! What a great idea, and an incredibly beautiful shot. I'm always so envious when friends move into a home with beautiful flowers already planted.
ReplyDeleteoh goodness! and it is not the first time we had similar ideas :-)
ReplyDeletegorgeous flower, though, and hope you have perfect weather for the trip.
This is a gorgeous flower. It looks very young and spriteful! I bet the fairy dance there.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining my Alphabet Photo Challenge. I had a wonderful time and I hope you did, too!
The botanist sitting on the couch to my left says this flower has a much more common name: Martha Washington Geranium. I like the name you gave it much better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous finale. You outdid yourself. This has been wonderful fun and I've enjoyed coming here to see what you'd post each day.
ReplyDeleteSorry your could not make your trip but ohhh what a lovely macro picture - breath taking!
ReplyDeleteThat is an extra ordinary shot! Such great colors and light and simply gorgeous with the drops! Love it!
