Hot Day in the Garden

I do find taking flower photos rather boring ... that is unless you can make them a bit different with exposure and high light changes.
Intentionally over-exposed and blew out the high lights to see what would happen.

I am hoping for cooler weather ahead but oh for some rain. The grass is dying.

@joansmor It was like that for us as well but we got some rain just in time to save the corn and beans.
It's getting dry again now.

The bright, almost overexposed flowers illustrate your title perfectly.
