Water drops over flowers; the colors of spring; Chocolate truffle cake.

Places: Minoprio Foundation Gardens.

Spring has finally arrived. Here in northen Italy we dealed with a very dry weather during the winter, fortunately last two week were mostly rainy, otherwise we would have to deal with a severe drought, specially for the crops… at least that was what I heard on the news.

Meanwhile I took my gear last sunday (well covered in plastic of course) to do some shots of tulips at Minoprio Foundation Gardens (I wrote about that place on my last post, in Italian). The good thing was: there wasn’t so many people around (actually nobody). The greatest thing: shooting the water drops over the flowers, I really love the effect. The bad part: it rained all day long, so I haven’t had 10 minutes free of rain… otherwise I would have done my pictures with more calm… I wasn’t able even to use the tripod… Anyway, these are some of those shots I did there, using my beloved 100 mm Canon macro lens.

Colors:

So many!!!  were are on Spring right??? in addition, these days I made a chocolate cake, so this pixelated rainbow has for sure many brown tones.

Flavors: Home made Chocolate truffle cake

My Friend Rebeca sent me recently some Venezuelan chocolate and a book plenty of chocolate recipes… What could I do with all that chocolate, that kind of book and my gear on my hands? 🙂 This Chocolate Truffle cake (so simple and so good)
