To Drip or Not to Drip....That is the question!




I must say I've never realized how temperamental water can be. This afternoon I was waiting to go to an appointment and thought I'll just go outside my door with my trusty watering can and get a drip shot....real quick. Yeah, right! That's not quite what happened.

Did you know that water will drip too quickly when you are trying to get your camera to the right spot or when in position it will sit like concrete, not moving, not even a millimeter until you take your eyes off of it then, plop! Then the shot is gone!

But it was fun setting up this staged shot. I got on my knees and up close to my cabbage plants. I hurt my feet on the cedar mulch in my flower bed trying to get the drops off of my vinca. I poured water over my bushes. I'm sure if anyone had been watching they would have thought that I was a few bricks shy of a full load. But oh, well, I'm sure you ladies out there understand. Hope you enjoy as much as I did trying to get the elusive drip shot!
