Lovely Lily of the Valley

These beautiful, tiny and wondrously scented flowers are growing wild in the woods here, but I don't take my tripod with me on my walks with Teddy into the woods, so had to wait for the few flowers I have growing in my garden to come into bloom. The rain last night gives them added interest I think and they look so beautiful peering out from underneath the wet leaves. I had to use a high ISO to gain a fast shutter speed as they were blowing slightly in the wind.
The UPS man was rather bemused at me crouching down head first and bottom up amongst the bushes, with my tripod - I "piqued his interest" he said! so I explained to him what I was doing.....

Thats a very nicely done photograph. Water drops and the leading line formed by the leaf edge are a huge plus.
