What a strange plant is that bird of paradise. A weird path for evolution. Wonders await us in the universe. Shame I'll be dead.

Thanks David. Nature is grand.

Another striking set Isac. Beautiful. I find the background in #1 a little distracting.

Thank you Alan. The colorbond fence never helps with aesthetics. At least it's blurred I suppose with this flower it would be worth doing a black or very dark gradient. I'll have a crack.
