It's cold, wet and there has even been some snow today in Birmingham, England.     For that reason I am craving some sunshine and those long summer days.  There's still a bit of a wait however so to cheer me up and add a splash of colour I am posting this picture of a very colourful flower.  I hope it brings you some joy.![2012_December untitled shoot 02313.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXSnGYMoGonpFL9r6FUvnFX7AoLVM9xtpcmjPpyQ49NsP/2012_December%20untitled%20shoot%2002313.jpg)
