Sunday Photo - Red Bird of Paradise


Also known as Caesalpinia pulcherrima. All of these shots are SOOC, the colors really are this vibrant! All I did was add the watermark and a little frame. :)




Linking up with Orange You Glad It's Friday, Flower Art Friday, Floral Friday Fotos, Weekly Top Shot, Your Sunday Best, Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday, Mandarin Orange Monday and Macro Monday. Check out all of these fun memes for some awesome photography!

    Your shots beat mine to death with a stick! :-) Well, it's lovely seeing some again in photos. Great job! I just heard about Mandarin Orange Monday and have never seen Orange You Glad it's Friday. I think posting orange things would be fun now and again.
