Out for a walk

We have had A LOT of rain lately, and a lot just yesterday.  As I was walking the dog this a.m., I saw this hibiscus bush that clearly loved the rain more than I did.  The flowers were just beautiful, so dispite less than ideal light, I came back with my camera.  This is the reason we need to remember to always stop and smell the roses...

I have played with this a little to bring out the light as much as I could and this version has been "painted" with palette knife.
