so it's been pretty cold and dreary lately, but apparently still warm enough for some "traditional" summer bloomers to keep blooming. So the other day, coming home from work, I happened to see that Bob's (neighbor) Tecoma alata were still blooming, and with the gray skies and whatnot, I knew I would be hard pressed to find more ideal conditions to take a picture of the flowers (shadows are usually MUCH too harsh)

So anyway, it was pretty dark and I had to boost ISO 800 (too lazy to go in a get the tripod) but this was the result. Pretty good I think, I like shooting in RAW, its my new "thing." LOL
