After the Rain

I have always had a fondness for raindrops on plants and flowers. These are sunny morning photos, around the yard, after the rain.

Banana Leaves
Ti Plant
Japanese Maple
Rose of Sharon

Pittosporum
Tomatoes
Gardenia
Holly
Coral Bells
Bonfire Ornamental Peach
Chrysanthemum 
Variegated Canna
I hope you enjoyed these raindrops nourishing our plants.

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

  7. Yes! This is a special beauty of nature. And how to capture it! Technology has spawned a lot not so great things, but DSLR cameras are one the better outcomes of technology.

    1. Isn't that leaf amazing? I have never seen these before until moving south. Ours is a baby so we don't know if it will flower this year. It is growing fast though and since they propagate themselves, they will probably be huge in a few years!

    1. Thank you Jan. We thought we would throw out the chrysanthemums after autumn. We left them in pots and they never completely died. Now this particular plant is in the ground and has grown huge! I had no idea they enjoyed heat.
