All right, I admit it: I did not take this photograph in the forest, but in a garden in Länghem. What caught me was the single orange calendula standing out against the blue flowers and green background, a simple contrast that held the frame together. The evening was mainly clear, and to me the abundance of colour felt like summer at its best.
