Good day ,
Last night after sunset i decided to give the garden some water especially those plants that i have planted and seeded this year.
However some of that water landed on flowers and a complaining neigbour.
So i went inside to grab the camera and make some water drop pictures .
I started with this llittle pink rose originally solld as a white rose but i guess i have to much acid in my soil so they turn pink overtime.
