After the rain

We've had quite a bit of rain over the last week. I always love how vibrant the world looks with raindrops on it. Here are some of the shots I took during and after the rain storms

Wednesday 5/21

these are on campus between the library and the stadium and taken between 5 and 6 pm 

Mushrooms in the yard -- just thought they looked cool 

love how bright the droplets made the yellow and the contrast of the purple leaf on the left 

this tree looked really pretty against the cloudy sky 

Lilacs because I love them 

the red really caught my eye 

the red and white tulips are so pretty and look even better with the droplets

this arrangement is totally awesome and caught my attention from across the street 

the clouds drawing water for another storm -- loved the way the beams hit everything 

the light beams coming down to the silo were just way too cool 

there was a beautiful rainbow on Saturday night -- so vibrant and pink sky too 

 the hibiscus on our deck from the same time as the rainbow 

Today 5/27 taken between 5:30 and 6:30 -- we had some crazy thunderstorms this afternoon and these are what I found after and between the storms 

this is one of the flower pots on campus, loved all the different colors and lots of raindrops

these were leaves that had falled during the storms

not a huge pink fan but the droplets made these totally awesome 

these were so delicate and pretty I had to get a few shots of them 

this leaf was on one of the stone walls -- loved that there was still a monster drop even after the sun came out 

this bunny was just eating grass and let me get its picture

it looked right at me -- totally awesome

it wasn't scared of me at all 

the street had remnants of puddles and I loved the light 

these Iris  were really pretty and under a pine tree

and a close up -- love how the purple comes through the droplets 

this was on the side and again I love how the light was hitting the leaves 

I had to get something orange and there were still lots of droplets

it was bent over from the rain and again loved how the sun highlighted it 

the bud was just cool 

the sun was giving the perfect highlights

 these were on a tree -- the white and green caught my eye 

and a closer look --- the light made it sparkle even more 

some Rhododendrons right by my place 

the blooms were so full and sparkly 

and one more because they were so pretty 

I've been having so much fun practicing. Hope you enjoyed my pictures and thanks for sharing with me
