A Sugarbird gracing the Pincushions

This was one of the times I wished I had my bridge camera. I only had my 15-85 lens with me and the bird was so far away.

I only know this beautiful flower as a cut flower. But she is so much nicer!

For "my needs", this is perfect! I can see the bird well, and I adore the pincushions! For some reason, my orange one seems to have died in out six-week absence. I had saved a lot of seeds from it before we left, planted a couple, and I think they're coming up! Now THAT would be exciting if I can continue to propagate them! ...if not, $30 will get me another one!

I love the photo

[Kathy A]

I like his long tail and beak

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This shot works fine with the lens you used. I like seeing the bird in its environment- especially since it's such a showy flower. Good shot!

[LManning (Laura)]

Beautiful capture of this lovely bird in its environment.

[Rick]

Still, not bad. Great shot.

[Dorothy]

Well I think it’s a great shot! The pincushions are so interesting to me.
