Unusual crape myrtle

Just trying out a new lens out in the extreme heat on whatever I could find to photograph. This crape myrtle was a bit past its prime, but the color was still beautiful against the white church.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

The new lens lily, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor Z 24-70 f2.8 S
1/250s f/10.0 at 70.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
