Cape Sugarbird Aurora Borealis

after playing with the colour balance in PS. I also added a light chalk smudge in Topaz Studio.

After seeing all those wonderful colours this past week, I needed some too.

Yesterday's restaurant also has a beautiful protea garden, unfortunately most are past their prime. I did find this one amongst the dead blooms, luckily with the bird which took off after this shot.
