Poincianna

Getting up close and personal with one of the last flowers on my Poincianna tree.

Edit: Taking this shot felt like old times... I was down on the ground shooting macros! One of the things I loved to do in my first year of 365.

[Sheralee S]

@nicoleterheide @trude Thanks so much ladies. While I was shooting this, I remembered what I loved about 365... it pushes us to make a little extra effort for our shots.

[Sarah White]

Gorgeous!!! And to see on a cold snowy gloomy morning is a breath of fresh air, love it and the vibrancy. Fav.

[Robin]

[Sheralee S]

@lbmcshutter You really should Megan! I loved it!

[Megan Richardson]

@bella_ss soon, soon, I am going away for work for 3 months from late Feb and i know a new location which inspire me to get out with my camer more instead of re-living my past shots (which I really enjoy)

[Sheralee S]

@lbmcshutter I enjoy your past shots too but there's nothing like a bit of inspiration so I look forward to seeing your work.

[Jason Daniels]

@lbmcshutter - going away?

@bella_ss - poinciana flowers are edible eh?

[Sheralee S]

@bobfoto I've never tried one but I have a friend that resorted to eating them when she had no money.

[Jason Daniels]

@bella_ss - really? I ate one and it was pretty crappy.

[Sheralee S]

@bobfoto Haha, I can imagine, just shows how desperate she was!

What lens did you use to take this, if I may ask :)

[Sheralee S]

@pocketmouse Thanks Teresa! I used a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, I love it and often use it for portraits too.
