All really pretty shots and I do like the raindrops, but I think my favorite is the leaf in the first shot.

thanks for the comments.... I am sorry that I do not know what the leaf is...just photos from people's gardens as I was walking the dog...all were hand held and done in Manual Focus...the light was fading fast!!!! not sure when I will come down south..we drove to Florida last March and had major car problems on the way back..

on photo 2, the way you got the drops to looks is unreal. what were your settings?

I like them, makes things look fresh-and not wet and chilly, as it starts to get ;-)

Cheers,

thanks for the comments. I honestly do not remember the settings? I went out about 6:15 pm to walk the dog just after it had poured all day. I just thought for a laugh I would take the camera and try some photos of what flowers were left in the neighbourhood. I used manual focus, the flash that comes with the FZ-30 and had a LumiQuest Soft Screen, that someone here had recommended to me. The camera was set at ISO 80 and I know the rest were at low light. Sorry I cannot give more help!!!!

I have met the best teachers here since I joined and the advice has been far more helpful than what I could read in a book. Maybe that is because we are all dealing with very similar cameras and learn from the direct experience! I have nothing but kind words from the posters here!!!
