August Break 2013 - Close up

Waiting out in my garden all morning never did produce any sightings of hummingbirds, so I could get a close up photo. Yesterday, they were all over the place feeding on the nectar I put out for them. So instead, you get a picture of a bloom from one of my favorite shrubs in my yard - my Rose of Sharon, which is a type of hibiscus. I actually have two of these plants that are well over 10 feet tall and bloom profusely this time of year.
