Quenched

Summer has taken hold in London. There are long, very warm sunny days and plants are flourishing. The rain is staying far away for a change.

This little vegetable plant is thriving in Chelsea Physic Garden, a wonderful city oasis bursting to the seams with life. The sprinklers are working overtime, and these leaves drip with moisture which catches the sunlight.

I like the ‘stretch’ effect you’ve got here accentuated by the drips on the leaf-points. Great photo :-D

  Hi there, thanks for coming by! It was all about that little droplet for me. For the first time I applied a Holga effect to bring it out as much as possible. Hope the weather is just as great over in Norway :-)

    Well, it’s usually raining here (just like in Scotland) but today has been lovely so I made the most of it this evening with a walk and a few snaps. :-D
