Picture of the Day: August 15, 2013


From the photo above, can you guess what flower is blooming in the yard?  Ok, here's a not-so-subtle hint:

Last night's low in the backyard was a chilly 43.  Some of the trees around the area are confused, already changing color for the fall.

Here's the original photo:
