Flowers and Rain Showers

During the month of April, I decided to try using my Minolta XG-M with my 50mm macro lens to take photos of some of the springtime flowers in our yard. It was fun to fine tune compositions with them. Later in the month, there were several days of rain on my days off, so I decided to try to capture some photos of plants and flowers in the yard, in the rain. I also took a few photos of Eliza having fun playing in the rain and splashing around in a puddle.
