A Splash of Colour

289 - Today is grey and miserable here in York, so I had a look back to this shot that I took on Sunday for something more cheerful.

I walked through Homestead Park on my way into the city to get more shots of the Ice Sculptures, and spotted this rather bright plant. I have no idea what it is, but it looked rather good highlighted by a patch of sunlight, so here it is.
