Jewel drops

Well it teemed with rain all day - typical bank holiday ! But the flowers and shrubs in the garden needed the rain. Once there was a break in the weather I just found the blossom on this smokey leaved bush - cotinus palace purple - was just holding the rain drops beautifully and looked like jewels, just a pity the sun wasn't there to make them glisten and sparkle. I like the way the raindrops magnify the tiny flowers.
