……. an inverted umbrella ……. a silky scarf …… ? No: it’s a late-flowering, raindrop-covered convolvulus (Morning Glory) photographed against a blanket grey sky!
The colours of this flower intrigue me greatly – as does that very uniform grey sky!
Is it a kite ……..

Thank you very much, David! It’s a little bit different, isn’t it?! I photographed these flowers last year during August. It’s strange how late they are this year (maybe they were early last year 😉 ).

Gorgeous! Reminiscent of a Georgia O’Keefe print–the vivid color and cropped blocking.

Yes – maybe! It’s still very warm here – and quite humid. There are many late Summer flowers still in bloom but these flowers seem to be just coming out! Strange weather indeed.
