Tropical Flowers

Aren't these flowers beautiful? I took them yesterday in between morning showers. The drops on their petals are "real", not me misting them with a water bottle or anything! For the most part, they are different colors of hibiscus, I believe.
I thought this pink one was just wonderful. I love the way the rain drops just seem to glisten on the petals!

These two look like twins, don't they? I did get another shot of one of them in a super close up, but I do like this one of the two of them.


These last flowers aren't hibiscus - they are called sky flowers and are really very delicate, little flowers. When we walked by all these flowers later in the day, when the rain drops had dried, I didn't think they looked nearly as photogenic, altho still quite beautiful. Rain is a good thing, I guess! Enjoy!

Weather's Improving in Jamaica!

It's beautiful here in Jamaica - even when it rains! The photo above and below were taken in the morning showers here today. I think the rain really highlighted their fabulous colors!



This image was taken from the restaurant where we had breakfast this morning. It was drizzling out, and folks were waiting to see what the day brought us, so there weren't any people on the beach yet. However, the rain passed, and we ended up at the pool later in the morning. I'm sure all the beach spots are taken, but we might walk around to check out the other pool after lunch. For right now, tho, we are enjoying ourselves on our balcony!
