I take a lot of macro shots of bugs and flowers, it got me to thinking what it must be like from their POV. When I saw a large cluster of this ornamental grass (called Hare’s Tail/Bunny Tail (Lagurus ovatus)) on the beach I got down on my belly in the sand and took this shot. /
I was extremely bored today and I wanted to do something creative so I found the bubbles and started blowing out in the backyard. It was a little windy today so it was a stupid idea but I couldn’t stop trying, I just wanted ONE ! bubble with some sort of reflection before it popped. It was a mess, dripping bubbles everywhere and dropping my camera around my wrist a hundred times and then POP…..too late ! but finally I got one I really liked ….it reminds me of a garden globe.

The sun broke through this afternoon, so it was off to the moors and waterfalls again, we have had plenty of rain :-) / I’ve been to Thomason Foss many times, and I’ve often seen the heron, but the heron has also seen me and scarpered. This time I was allowed to share a few minutes with him in my sights, all but at a distance. He was busy watching the salmon trying to jump the waterfall, he still had one eye on me. I wouldn’t normally have taken the waterfall shot from here, yet I was pleased with the results.. I had captured nature’s own ornamental garden. Look at it large, I think it’s worth it :-) Thomason Foss is in the North York Moors National Park. WATERFALLS SET

Bird of Paradise / Strelitzea regubae / Enchanting Gardens of Kula / Maui Hawai’i The Bird of Paradise thrives here in the Hawaiian Islands and has been introduced. It is a native of South Africa. Bird of Paradise (Stelitzia reginae), also known as Crane flowers, is one of the most beautiful of all exotic flowers. This native of South Africa derives its name from the unusual flowers, which resemble brightly coloured birds in flight. The leaves of a bird of paradise plant are bluish-green with a red midrib. This thick, evergreen foliage resembles small banana leaves, attached to a long stalk. In contrast to the banana, however, bird of paradise plants are trunkless. Emerging from the green and pink boat-shaped bracts in spring is the long-stemmed bird of paradise flower. The bird of paradise flower has petals of brilliant orange set off by its intense blue arrow-shaped tongue. The blooming will continue in a succession over some time. Here on Maui they bloom virtually year round. The Bird of Paradise is a beautiful plant as its height usually reaches anywhere from 4- to 5-feet tall with a 2- or 3-foot spread. The flowers unfold from a specialized leaf like structure which grows horizontally like a beak and contains pollen. The petals fold back and stick upward like the crown feathers on a birds head. The Bird of Paradise Plant grows best in damp, fertile soil with full to partial sun. Bird of Paradise are ornamental plants of the family Strelitziaceae. There are five species of the genus Strelitzia, all native to southern Africa. They grow from rhizomes (underground stems) to a height of 1 to 1.5 metres (about 3 to 5 feet) and have stiff, erect, leathery, concave, and oblong leaves. The leaves are bluish green and may have a red midrib. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited.
