Summertime, in the middle of July, brings a variety of lilies in an array of colors across yards and road ditches.

The lilies and other flowers had some sunshine today before getting another bath from heavy rain, but at least it wasn’t hail.

There was rain today, but it wasn’t leaving raindrops on flowers on a warm summer day. Instead the rain polished the driveway back to ice as the rain melted the snow which was covering the ice layer.

After the rains yesterday, the flowers are drying out in today’s sunshine like these pretty pink lilies.

It may not be snowing today and the temperature is nearing the freezing mark, but spring and blooming flowers are still a couple months away. So no bright orange dotting the yard and the only color seen in the yard are the birds at the feeders.

The yellow lily was soaking up some sun rays on a nice afternoon after a chilly morning.

In the late summer, yards and ditches are filled with various types of lilies. Sometimes you notice a field with some lilies and other flowers, which at one time had surrounded a farm house, but has long been abandoned and the house was either torn down or fell down, leaving only a few indicators that something more once stood there.

The road ditches have spotted patches of reddish orange color as the native lilies are blooming. Although growing up, I thought they were Turk’s Cap Lily but Turk’s Caps are not native to Wisconsin and they are actually native Michigan Lily instead (but I think they should have been called Wisconsin Lily instead as Wisconsin has more counties with them in than Michigan does). But whatever the name, they are pretty in the road ditches and fields.

There was more fireworks last night and now this morning, mother nature is providing some booming noise too. But maybe later today, the sun will shine again on the orange lilies so they can show off their really bright orange color instead of the muted orange under the gray skies this morning.

The yellow lilies looked a little soggy from yesterday’s rain and I got wet taking the picture since it seemed to rain most of the day.
