The Hibiscus.

I went to my English friend's for lunch today then we decided to take the kids down to her local lake for a dip. We had the small beach to ourselves - not like yesterday's lake. The water was beautiful but I must invest in some shoes for walking on the stones at the edge of the lake. I tried for some photos of the kids in the water but the sun was so harsh and reflecting off the water onto their faces. I blipped the Hibiscus instead so you can see the colour of the open blooms after I had watered the garden this evening.
