Nourished by the warmth of year-round tropical sunshine, the desert rose bush outside my front door tends to bloom whenever it pleases.  Having flowered all through July, it here shows a preview of its plans for early September.  Captured in Coral Springs, Florida, on August 28, 2013.   Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.
