   I just had to go over and look at this post, since I was listening to a song with “raindrops” in it.

         Dis vir my een van die beste blog besoeke wat ek kan maak!! Jammer ek is so skaars maar waneer ek ‘n draai maak kom ek altyd vervris weg!! (Verskoon die slegte spelling!!) 😉

         Ek is baie bly dat jy n stukkie van julle vakansiedag aan ons afstaan 😉

         En om jou nou ordentlik “home sick” te maak; ons het Saterdag die eerste ordentlike reenbui van die seisoen gehad. Daars mos net iets aan die reuk in die lug na so sterk storm oor is, wat ek glo nie enige ander plek op aarde kan bied nie.
      5. aj vosse October 27, 2014 at 12:35 pm

         Wat ook so wonderlik is… is hoe gou die dor, droe omgeewing groen word!! Dis as of daardie eerste reen al die gemors af was om weer vir ons te wys hoe mooi die plek eintlik is!! 😉

   Perfect photo for this week’s challenge. Those water droplets are so round, they look a bit like crystal-clear beads. Amazing that you captured the reflection of green grass in them. Looking at the droplets closely, it’s like looking at an upside down world. Well done 🙂
