Today we are having what is euphemistically called a wintery mix - snow, sleet, rain and freezing rain. My idea of a wintery mix is hot cocoa, a good cookie and a classic film - but I digress! I dug in the summer bins for this bright and cheerfully colored canna to offset the gloom outdoors. All comments and critiques appreciated.

It sure brightens up my screen, Kathy! A lovely golden profusion of beautiful blossoms. Our weather is inverted with us receiving lots of sun, but it is only 22 degrees. I like your idea for a wintery mix. Enjoy the hot cocoa 'cause you won't be thinking about it in a few more weeks. lol

Well it certainly warmed my day up. A nice closeup of the flowers Kathy. Beautiful colours in the shot and nice lighting and shadows. The photo could be a little sharper or maybe its clear up the grain/noise in it. I'm never really sure. Good work though.

I like your Summer bin already! What a beautiful looking bunch of flowers with a nice green leafy background! A great image to remind me of summer.
