I took a series of macro shots of last night's snow melting on the hyacinth.

These are gorgeous, like diamonds on velvet. I was afraid this was going to be photos of snow and you know, snow sucks.

That I do, Vicky. It's almost all melted though.

beautiful shots I like the water drops all over them. I'm pretty sure those are hyacinths though and not crocus

They are definitely hyacinth. The pictures are beautiful. I think I see you in a couple of the drops. Very very nice.

Shannon, these are beautiful! Are the photos for a theme? This is the second time I've seen a raindrop on flower photo. They are exquisite. I wish I could do that.
