I am an extreme amateur when it comes to photography. I love trying to get interesting photographs, most of the time it fails miserably, but over time I’m developing my niche I guess you could say. For some reason I’m drawn to drop-a-lets of water on any surface. (I know it’s really spelled droplets). On my Instagram page (@angelnails) I have a whole series of Drop-a-lets and this particular photo is partie neuf, number 9 for those non-french speaking people. I, myself, do not speak french. I just typed number 9 into the English to French online translator and they gave me partie neuf.

I actually took this photograph on my lunch break last summer with an iPhone 4S as I sat by the Erie Canal and enjoyed the quiet of the afternoon away from my noisy office.

There’s beauty all around us. You just have to notice it.
