Lots of detail loss due to jpeg -- and lots of distinct leaves never compress well anyway -- but this is the same Crepe Myrtle as the previous shot, this time in color at sunset tonight. Boosted the saturation a bit, but honestly not as much as you might suspect.

When it's in bloom, the blossoms are the most intense pink, almost like bubblegum. And in autumn, the leaves range from yellow to red to burgundy. The shot is tweaked for saturation, but at sunset, this tree right now (or a few days ago at this point) literally glows and its red and orange colors the inside of our kitchen.
The absolute capper though is that it's home to quite a number of my beloved hummingbirds. If it's somehow now not clear, I'm in love with this tree! :)
I have never taken a cell phone picture myself that I am reasonably satisfied with.
