Today's Photo of the Day is more of an uplifting story depicted in a photograph.

This photo was submitted via our Facebook page by Diane Wake. If I'm not mistaken, it's her third appearance in Photo of the Day in the past week! This time, her subject was not a gathering of turtles, or a bunny, but a simple iris. "After the rain, comes the iris," Wake wrote in the note accompanying her photo. In that case, we'll likely be seeing a lot more of them based on the soaking we've experienced this week. Have a picture you'd like to see featured as our Photo of the Day?

This photo was submitted via our Facebook page by Patricia Baker. It was taken on Tuesday night at sunset at Castaways on the deck at Seabrook Beach. "So beautiful (sigh)," Baker wrote. We concur!

This photo was submitted by Kathy Braun of Fairfield, Conn., who was visiting the area over the weekend.

Just about everyone I've talked to has said it, so it's pretty fitting that today's Photo of the Day (by Diane Wake) showcases a member of the animal community also begging for a little bit of sun this Memorial Day weekend.

The stormy conditions may not have been ideal for picture-taking, although that didn't stop Jacqui (Graham) Kennedy on Wednesday.

Sometimes sad can be beautiful, and Chris McCarthy's newest Photo of the Day proves just that. I find it pretty fascinating that bleeding hearts and other things with really striking shapes occur naturally. Great image!   Have a picture you'd like to see featured as our Photo of the Day?

Sometimes, Photo of the Day is art imitating art, such as this shot by Patricia Baker of a piece of artwork she saw while in Newburyport, Mass. Anyone know who the artist is? It's a pretty great piece, and I'd love to give them a little shout-out.     Have a picture you'd like to see featured as our Photo of the Day? E-mail it to Kyle.Stucker@Patch.com!
