Firecracker bush

I believe that's what this is, anyway. It's pretty. I bet it'd be nicer with a macro lens.

I am going to apply for a photography internship. It's with Days Inn, a hotel chain. It's a month long this summer, and the photog will travel the country taking pictures of the sun for use in hotel ads, displays and on room walls. Why not go for it? I can take leave from my job, or I can leave it and take a new turn in life. I likely won't get it, but it never hurts to try.
