Surprising Rain

Our forecast called for hot and humid, the norm this time of year, all day today so the rain that started mid-afternoon was a complete surprise. I had neglected to shoot any photos during the nice weather and now the sky was a uniform dark gray. Fortunately, the rain stopped briefly and I was able to get this highly saturated leaf shot. I'm not sure why the colors are so intense with this particular framing as the light certainly was not by this time in the day and the other angles I shot were very flat. A happy accident that kept my blip streak intact.
