venture

I caught a glimpse of this particular tree on the bus to uni the other day, and thought to myself, 'man, I must get a picture of that!'

So today, I went on a journey to find the tree! Dragged my mum and one of my sisters along with me to enjoy a walk the Saturday afternoon sun.

The road the bus goes down is always very busy (and today was no exception), so of course I got many weird looks from drivers and passers-by. It was awesome. :D

Great shot. Great colors.

[Michelle Joy]

This tree was begging to be shot for the theme! It has such nice flowers, do you know what kind it is?

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

Michelle, I'm afraid I have no idea! I was shooting it at quite a distance with my zoom lens. so this picture is about as close as I could get.

[Vicky G]

Ooohh, I love these colors together! This is lovely.

[Yuliya]

[Tracy Watkins]

[Mary More]

Just lovely, Teresa.

[Judith Gilbert]

I love the colors in this picture. The blues and reds. Very pretty!

[Jennifer Loftin]

Agree with Judith, love those to colors and shades together. Once had a room that was painted this blue with brown carpet and hints or red around. Lovely!

It's pretty, and I like that you actually went after it! I used to always pass this tree on the bus that I wanted to photograph. It's got a natural carving type thing that looks exactly like a heart. Unfortunetly it would be quite a walk for me!

beautiful.

[Robert Velten]

I agree with Santosh, those are flowers of a coral tree, Erythrina. Can't tell what species, many are cultivated for their beautiful flowers. Great shot, nice to succeed in your quest!

[FaerieMoon]

This is a very pretty tree-and against the blue sky, I can totally see why you'd photo it!

[Lori Rompolski]

I love the contrast of the blue sky with the flowers! Great shot.

[Tanya]

ha ha I got a stack of weird looks in the last few days too for taking pics of walls...the tuk tuk drivers in particular think Im completely nuts! Such a great tree with the flowers at the end of the branches like that and it does look cool against the contrast of the blue sky.

[Sheri Jeanne]

Pretty shot. What we won't do for the sake of a great shot! I'm glad you took the time find this tree and share with all of us.

[Kirsty .P]
