Default Frangipani rain

I took this shot of a Frangipani bloom in the backyard. I believe one of the best times to photograph is just after a rain.
Hope you like it.

Very lovely Frangipani bloom and well composed. I agree, flowers just after the rain are lovely.
We have many of these trees in different colors in Thailand as well. I love the smell of many of them.
Thanks for Sharing this
Michael.

Thanks everyone for your comments. The Frangipani is an odd sort of a plant/tree. For most of the year it looks bare and dead. No leaves or blooms just branches. Then about April it beings to bloom and will stay that way until about the end of July when it drops everything (in my case into the pool).
