April Showers & May Flowers

Taking a little break from the spotlights and roaring crowds back to something a little more calm.  We certainly had more than our fair share of April showers last month, but they have so far failed to yield any real flowers just yet.  Thankfully I have what seems like an unlimited supply of flower photographs lurking around in the archives.  That's where I found this little guy just relaxing amongst the thousands and files and just waiting to see the light of day.  So, it's not really a May flower.  At this point, I should probably admit that those drops aren't really April showers either.  I sprayed the flower down with a mist bottle.  Before I reveal any other secrets, I should let you know that the photograph was taken at f/16, 1/250sec, ISO 100 at 70mm while also bouncing some flash off of the deck ceiling.  The real flowers of May should be sprouting soon, in the meantime, hopefully this one adds a little bit of colour to your day.
