Feelers

The heat was unbearable today. Like extreme cold, it was hard to think. All day a storm front was promised, but failed to materialise. Rain forecasts ranged from 0.5" to 2.25". When I went out in the evening to photograph, the wind picked up which helped a bit.

I was torn between the clouds and the flowers and kept switching in/out the extension tube. Timing with flowers in the wind is critical. I have been wanting to make an image of the bottlebrush. I find the tentacles with their orange tips quite intriguing. I'm not sure I quite got what I wanted.

I called the extra 'Rain Dance' because we really need the rain.
