.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.
ReplyDeleteI like your flower shot. I think we called this flower gumamela, or something like that.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I really enjoy seeing hibiscus blooms!
ReplyDeleteThis 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...
ReplyDeleteHibiscus's always remind me of summer.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot - great composition. Delicate and ephemeral.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! It's as if it is reaching for those last rays of sunshine and summer as well.

Beautiful shot! I like the angle you took. Have a wonderful week, Robin :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Love the lighting. Very delicate.
