One photo a day challenge: Day 143.

The last several days have been hot. Today there was a quick rainstorm that broke the heat wave.

The rains did not last long, but the rain was intense. The flowers got a good watering.

I love photographing flowers. But, seldom do flowers look better than after a rainstorm.

I love the few tiny and scattered water droplets on the back side of this flower blossom.

The more subtle shade of red od the flower is perfect. The flower isn’t too saturated with color.

The separation and curvature of the petals provides a nice feeling of depth and texture for the photograph.
