PhotoHunter: bright

There is no doubt that at this time of year, bright flowers abound.

The local authorities have every available space filled with bright flowers.


People do the same in their gardens.


The colours of roses can be stunning

especially against the sky


But myself, I prefer the more natural colours of the acacia leaves against the bright blue sky ...


... and the sun filtering through the trees to brighten leaves.


Best of all perhaps are the flowers I find when I walk along the river bank. They can't compete with the cultivated flowers for individual colour, but in their own place amongst the grasses and shrubs they do look bright, and they brighten my day.
