Coneflower

This is the season for all the cornflowers (Echinacea) to be in bloom in the city and it seems to be a good year for them as they are everywhere you look. I caught this one in my mother's garden just after a recent rain.

    This is just excellent - super colors and it's sharp as a tack and great depth-of-field.

    I love cone flowers. These have a lovely color. In Dutch we call them 'sun hat' (zonnehoed).
