I ended up with three shots of the same thing: raindrops on hosta blooms. The buds were just ready to open, and the green foliage, purple hues, and glistening rain made for a nice composition. So, the only "water" I have to offer is a few raindrops! But, they're pretty raindrops, and if you look closely enough, there are reflections in them. The only editing I did was crop out the extra background.

Thanks to Donna for keeping the Photo Challenge going each month! Why don't you join us?
Oh, these are lovely! And YES, water is an important component to these photos. I was hoping that someone would feature raindrops and you didn't let me down, LOL. Your crops are terrific and each one makes the composition stronger. Way to go!
