Another Rainy Day by darylo

Another Rainy Day

It's crunch time around here--finishing out the semester, grading, kids are almost out of school (one "graduating" 5th grade), and I'm running around with my head cut off. After spending an hour at the gym, I drove home (with camera in car, of course), and started scanning the neighbors' yards for something to catch for the day so I could head right on into work.

It's been raining for several days straight, so I was happily surprised to see these calla lilies (I think) saying "come see me!" So I did, and I'm glad I did. Nothing like color to brighten an otherwise bleak looking day.
Great shot.

@judis Thanks Judi for the fav--I've never seen colored calla lillies!

And the way you photographed them - the angle -- do say, "come see me." Good luck getting all those things done!
