Flowers after the rain


Took this picture of a flower after the rain during my recent macro photography trip with the guys to Sungei Buloh. Handheld, Canon 100mm f/2.8, tight crop, slight sharpen.


After the rain, quite often it refreshes,
Waking those senses which have gone dormant; inert.
Blooming flowers hopes for sun rays to warm its petals,
But often another pour beckons, dishearten.
Petals and stalk stay resilient, endure beatings of raindrops,
Courage and faith hold forth; adamant.
In hope of a glimmer, when the rain finally relinquishes,
There stands the flowers after the showers; obstinate.

The only flower you've got is cauliflower. Not the vegetable.
