Here’s a tiny sampling of a few photos I captured a few days ago in San Diego.

I just had to find out what flower was in that first photo.
For anyone else who is curious, it is called the bird of paradise flower, or crane flower, and it is native to S. Africa.
Nice work, Robert.
Thanks – I was wondering myself.

Bird of Paradise?
Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Nice.
Wow, either you have one heck of a camera or are one very talented photographer.
Thanks, mom!
Catching a hummingbird like that is great.
Nice photos. Thanks for posting.
Well done, those flowers are gorgeous–your photography is stunning!
Thank you Robert. So moved, I found this poem:
O Flower!
By: Sarthi
O flower! Attired in pure natural innocence,
Thou are ignorant of thy enchanting aroma,
Unaware of thy Charm,
Dances freely with flirtious breeze,
Hardly cares about world’s joy and sorrow,
Thou are neither selfish nor altruistic
Full of Self yet so Selfless!
I am fascinated by your tranquil disposition,
At dawn thou bath in sun’s rays,
Flirt with colorful butterfly,
Fall a deep sleep in afternoon warmth.
Enjoy melodious sound of chirping birds
Thou lover, up there – the sky,
Gazes you with intense admiration,
He kisses you tenderly through his winds,
Thou spread thy fragrances in his arms,
He grows enamored of thy presence,
What a beautiful bond!
Thy fall comes – autumn arrives,
Still thou remain full of life as ever before,
Not worried; not shaken a bit
Simply falls, without uttering a
Single word to your lover to save you
from getting withered.
Thou unconditional acceptance is captivating,
O soft hearted beauty, thy passive life is
Exquisite treasure of green emotions.
Obligatory internet ‘A birb!’ comment.
Thanks for posting these. Good shot of the hummingbird. Nice lighting and focus on the bird of paradise.
Beautiful pictures and the hummingbird is so gorgeous. Thanks
