Cape Photo of the Day - Photo #167

We returned from a couple of weeks of summer vacation to find our crape myrtle in full bloom. It did not bloom so well last summer, so I wasn't sure what to expect this year, but it seems to have perked up. You will see them bursting with color throughout the Cape. I love these late summer exhibitionists.

God bless the folks who clean up and plant the beds down at the shopping center year in and year out. We are treated every spring to a beautiful display of their handiwork. The vibrant red tulips brightened my day. The crape myrtles only have their smooth, mottled bark to show at this point, but in a few months, they will be the belles of the ball with the tulips bright spring showing just a flash in the pan.
