I recall that we had similar weather experiences earlier this summer. I know that Florida bills itself as the 'Sunshine State' and now I've determined that there are 2 types of sunshine here - regular sunshine and liquid sunshine. Those 2 conditions go a long way towards explaining the jungle growing just outside the front window. During one of those 'regular sunshine' periods today I disappeared into it for a few moments to capture some images. (Now, don't misconstrue any of these comments as negative - I didn't have to shovel any of this precipitation !)

Excellent shot, Rick. it almost looks like computer generated art! Very abstracted, great line & color.
Don't y'all get hurricanes in Florida?
nice photo
Love those veins. Great shot and I hope you have a good umbrella.
..."the lion sleeps tonight!" Wow, what a jungle!
I had to laugh, no shoveling rain eh?
Another magnificent shot Rick. The sun shines where we see it shining, even when it's raining outside it can still shine inside where all good things need to blossom and grow, it's all a matter of perspective and I love your view.
Cheers and God bless.
Now this is a picture I really like. Even though its very simple it is perfectly lit and composed. The colors and veining;outstanding.
@becky - thank you Becky. I think the neighbours might have been wondering what I was doing ducking in and under the large plants out front, but I found these wonderful patterns under the huge leaves - I'll have to post a shot of the leaves one of these days. Hurricanes ? What are those ? ;-)
@Jesson Balaoing - thank you.
@Scott - thank you Scott, and yes, I do (needed it today !).
@Carolyn Ford - got that song in your head now ? ;-) Yep, haven't seen leaves this size before !
@darlin - I figured a northerner would appreciate that ! Words of wisdom; thanks Darlene - hope your weekend is shaping up well.
@Chad - thank you Chad - made my crawl under the wet leaves worthwhile !
HI Rick. Lang niet gezien. Mooie foto. Hier is het ook storm en regen. Echt herfst.
Owww so green, love the veins from the leaf.
En wat de taai taai betreft you have two options, eighter you book a flight and pick some up at here or and now this is tricky because you never sure what the h.ll you get yourself into ;-))) you give me your adress so I'll send you a bunch!!
Pick your way buddy.
In the meanwhile I'm chewing several more down as we speak (well accually I can't because they are so darn sticky).

Great shot! More please!
ABSTRACT ART!

Haha...good looking at the positive.
Sounds like we Albertans may be shoveling come Monday.
Yay for your liquid sunshine:))
Hi Rick.. Queensland is also known as the 'Sunshine State' and we have been experiencing the very same sort of weather you described in this post. Intermittent rain & sunshine!!
Great shot Rick... I think well worth the risk that your neighbors might have had misguided thoughts about what else you could have been possibly doing whilst loitering in and around the greenery!! Hee! hee! hee!
And your wife would've been thinking..."There he goes again" ... so funny!
Nice composition with a lovely texture and a delicious green
One of my favorites, Rick!
So much beauty to be found in the simplest of things! Macro shots of leaves are beautifully intriguing.
Beautiful and almost abstract and I LOVE IT. Congratulations Rick, you've shot a perfect picture.
Love love LOVE it!
inspiring me a lot!
I like this.. looks fresh, healthy, and clean..
love those veins..
