After the Rain

Outside my kitchen window, several palm trees (not sure of the variety) grow. I can see the green and yellow leaves against the blue sky, blowing in the breeze, or in the changing light of evening. I have also noticed, on several occasions, that when it rains, drops of water hang on the fronds, beckoning me to photograph them.
The other day, a Saturday, everything came together (it rained, then stopped, and I had some extra time in the morning and just happened to be in the kitchen) and I got some shots that I really like.
Below are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

I love the bright yellow against the green
