Whiskey To Water

Last night my wife and I checked out a very old Irish pub.  For the price of a Sweet Hot Whiskey, we got to listen to some great live traditional Irish music...fiddle, accordian, guitar, bodhran, and what sounded like a tin whistle...while being surrounded by a massive collection of items that the pub had accumulated in the last 300 years.  Also arches.  Beautiful arches...

...and this guy...

Today, knowing that it was supposed to rain, I tried to get out early for my daily photo.  Apparently it also rained overnight, giving me the perfect chance to use my macro extender.  This is what I ended up with...a raindrop slowly dripping off of a cedar's leaves/needles...

Rainy Day Windshields

Rain drips down the windows, through the gutters, and into the cracks in the sidewalk.  It also drips down the windshield of my car, providing me with an interesting photo opportunity.  After focusing on the droplets of rain and not the trees and houses behind them, a foggy, abstract image popped into my viewfinder.

Rain Drop Nebula

The colors and patterns have an almost nebula-like quality to them, reminding me of a photo from the Hubble Space Telescope.
