Fire and Rain

A couple of rainy days here in Texas.  But between cloudbursts, caught this shot of a crepe myrtle blazing up, undaunted.  The sky behind it was actually a rather dark bluish-gray, which made a striking background, but that didn't come through in the photo.

I love crepe myrtles! They are as southern as magnolias and mint juleps!

I love crepe myrtles too! Them and the magnolia trees is what I really miss about the south.
