2012, Day 89 - Spotlight

There have been a lot of floral posts recently and if it seems a bit monotonous I apologize but these little bursts of color provide a wonderful contrast to the cloudy wet weather.  I don't know what kind of plant this is but the flowers were hit my a little ray of light as I was walking past during a break in the rain.  Calling the light a ray is probably an overstatement, it is more like an small patch of thin clouds allowed a little extra light through.  Nevertheless, the natural spotlight did a fantastic job of isolating the flowers from the rest of the foliage making for a great picture.
