birds of paradise

i have become so predictable. whenever the receptionists at work see me, the first thing they'd ask is "are you going to take pictures of the flowers?" :-) invariably, someone would come to my desk and would ask if i had taken a photo of the arrangement up at reception. even the guards at the lobby concierge, they'd greet me good morning and then would tell me, "the flowers are beautiful, you should take a photo." one guard asked me one time "what do you do with your photographs?"

i like this part of the arrangement, rather than the whole arrangement. i like the ambience it conveys.

this post is for pam @pamfromcalgary one of the first friends i made here on 365.

partner has a big delivery to quebec and i will be coming with him. he says we can make a side trip to ottawa where the yearly tulip festival is currently happening. it should make for a nice photo shoot; hopefully there's not a lot of people and it doesn't rain a lot. i wouldn't know if there will be internet but i bought a car charger so i can at least view my photos on my laptop. all this means i shall be behind yet again in my commenting rounds; i need to get my stuff ready as we will be leaving promptly at 8 tomorrow morning.

thank you for your kind views and comments; they're much appreciated, i assure you. i shall catch up with yours as soon as i'm able.

Beautifully captured. I'm lucky enough to have both of the flowers shown here growing all around where I live. I have a Strelitzia bush in my garden.
