Hiding from the Sun

Pink is popping in the garden but it's also hiding. I adore the way the coneflowers petals lazily droop down almost as if they want to hide from the sun. I also love the contrast between the pink petals and the rust colored spiky center.  

It's been HOT in Minnesota. I don't blame those pink little petals for wanting to hide and shelter themselves from the crazy summer heat.
