After the rain....

Our normal summer time is lots of lightning, thunder and rain almost every day. However we have not had our normal rainy season this year so far. Except for the last several days. These storms are not to be messed around with. You do not want to be outside with violent winds, thunder and lightning. Things finally calmed down and I was able to go out on the patio and take this photo. I thought the leafs looked so pretty with the rain still visible.
