“Old” but not expired yet. Single subject April #2. by johnfalconer

“Old” but not expired yet. Single subject April #2.

This is a Bird of Paradise here in Australia. It may be called a Crane Flower in Africa whence it originated. It is on its last legs but still proud and beautiful.

This is a new challenge started by Northy @northy

Pick a word and photograph it every day for April. My word is “old” which has dozens and dozens of synonyms. The link is:

A lovely shot of this beautiful flower! I once tried to get a shot of one of these in a hot house in West Yorkshire, but sadly the humidity caused too much of a problem with condensation on my lens, so that was a fail!
