.Last Friday we snuck in what may be the final trip to the pool of the season before it closes for the season at the end of this week. Knowing that it would be almost deserted (despite the still hot daytime temperatures no one ever seems to come once school starts) I brought along my camera to grab some last shots of the kids (check back tomorrow for a few of those). After I was done shooting them I wandered around a bit and caught this hibiscus blooming along a fence.

This is simply beautiful Robin.
I like your flower shot. I think we called this flower gumamela, or something like that.
Very pretty! I really enjoy seeing hibiscus blooms!
This flower is delicate and not a bold red. The subtlety of natural artistry like this allow us to stare and enjoy the view. Of course, in the Northeast US, the pool season ended about three weeks ago...
Hibiscus's always remind me of summer.
Lovely shot - great composition. Delicate and ephemeral.
Very lovely! It's as if it is reaching for those last rays of sunshine and summer as well.

It's so beautiful! there's a few bushes of hibiscus here in my neighbourhood park, and it bloom all year long. It thrive in tropical climate.
A beautiful picture Robin:-)

Isn't it great to see those fall blossoms? I always live the last blooms, they remind me of the saying...I'm Not finished yet. Happy Ruby Tuesday

Did you know that in the Philippines we call that flower GUMAMELA. :)

Beautiful photo of this delicate hibiscus, Robin. It does look like it's reaching out for a bit more summer sun, as Carletta said.
Happy belated Ruby Tuesday!
Beautiful shot! I like the angle you took. Have a wonderful week, Robin :)
I love hibiscus, and this is a lovely shot of one. The green background, slightly out of focus, works very well to bring out the pink of the flower.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the lighting. Very delicate.
