O.K., O.K., I know I’m running the risk of overdoing the bird-of-paradise thing... but I’m hooked. These things are everywhere. I’m not going to try to convince you that I saw one flying; but I thought if I just got down and shot it from below against blue sky and clouds, you’d understand why I’m in love with these things. After all, the humming birds like them, and that’s good enough for me.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Did I mention that the seeds pods look like nests and the seeds themselves look for all the world like eggs. See what I mean?
