Impatiens

As of today, I once again have a working phonecam and I used it to take this picture, which I later cropped and edited in Painter IX. Tonight we went to a get-together in Durham, New Hampshire. The house is surrounded by trees and the late afternoon light was amazing. Impatiens was growing by the doorway. It is one of my favorite flowers. Impatiens thrives in the shade, against all odds producing bright color out of shadow.
