Seen in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago.

The very top of the stigma of a day lily in focus (also, part of two of the petals, as is the nature of the photographic image).
birthday wish
For his birthday, Nate wanted to color his hair (complete with faux-hawk) orange. He picked out the hair dye and heather transformed him. This photo doesn’t do the color justice, but it comes close. 🙂 You can see pre-orange-hair (but with faux-hawk) here.
