SkyWatch Friday: August Sky with crepe myrtle

When it's in full bloom my back garden crepe myrtle is almost red, particularly in a certain light. As the blooms fade and it's almost finished blooming, the flowers are pink. I like it both ways against the sky. I did another skywatch in July, with this crepe myrtle, when it was in full bloom and quite red, you can click here if you want to compare. The crepe myrtle trees in my front yard aren't at a good spot for photography so I usually shoot the back yard one.
