Unknown shrub

Continuing the plant theme, I found this shrub in the park when I went for a quick photo walk after swimming this morning, and thought it was really pretty. Its been a cloudy grey and showery day, and by late afternoon those showers became torrential, and accompanied by thunder and lightening. Laura and I had gone to IKEA this afternoon to get her some stuff for the apartment she's sharing next year, and we were coming home during rush hour during one of these storms, which wasn't very pleasant. We're supposed to have one more unsettled day, then the sun and heat returns - yay!

One year ago: Glorious morning walk!
