Picture Of The Day: A Touch Of Color Against An Old Stone Wall

oo



The splendor of an orange fuchsia
(or begonia?)
Against a century old stone wall!
I have come to realize
That color and profusion like this
Can only be achieved in places
Where the nights are cool.
No wonder my summer flowers
Back home in Brooklyn
Are sad in August.
