    These are stunning! That black one is gorgeous.

    I almost didn’t join in but remembered I did have some photos I hadn’t shared before. It’s fun to see what captures peoples eyes. I always have a hard time choosing favorites.

    Absolutely beautiful, Graham! It’s hard to pick a favourite but I love your Header and those fragile Maiapilo flowers. And the bird! I don’t suppose Hawaii would have me?
