This morning, I got up before the sunrise to take a photo of a neighbor's Halloween decorations. My hardworking point-and-click no longer takes pictures well at night or very dark settings. Poor guy. Since I was out, I thought I'd wait around for the sun to show itself, so I walked a bit around the neighborhood. But, the sun didn't pop up until I got home. Oh well. I did see some cool morning sights, including the bird of paradise hiding behind tall grass that look like cat tails.

All Hallow's Eve to you, one and all.
What a gorgeous photo, and such lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago my ex and I went to stay with some of his cousins in Cape Town, SA, and they had several bird of paradise flowers in their garden but I don't remember them being as bright as that.
Thank you, Tigermouse. I did a bit of highlighting in Photoshop to get better contrast between the the two plants. The birds were brighter than what I recall though.
DeleteThis is a striking photo! The Orange of the flower looks great against the cat o nine tails because of the purple colouring
ReplyDeleteThanks, Birgit. I'm glad the house that had the flowers in front were on a corner lot. All I did was swing around and there they were. I would've missed them otherwise.
