Night Bird: Celebrating my 3400th Posting With A Flower of The Day

 

IMG_0603

I saw this bird in the light from the wall lamp outside the guest room as I opened the front gate at 9:30 PM to let guests out after a film night at my house tonight.  I remarked on the interesting lighting and my friend Glenda remarked it was more interesting because of the street light shining on it as well.  I wedged the gate open with an old axe head of my grandfather’s, went in to get my camera, got distracted and promptly forgot about it. It was after 1 a.m. when I decided to post a photo of a flower for my 3400th posting, remembered seeing a flower I wanted to photograph, remembered I was with Glenda when I saw it and started combing my memory. I then remembered it was a bird of paradise and went out to find the gate still wedged wide open.  Not a good idea in Mexico–especially with an axe head invitingly wedging it open!!!  Sheesh.

Here it is, above and below, not as interesting as earlier, but. . . .If my math is right, it is my 114th daily posting for Cee’s flower prompt, which I started posting on June 30, 2015.

Birds of Paradise share center table with baby’s breath and the first papaya of the new tree. Unfortunately, these papayas are not as flavorful and sweet as the papayas were from our last tree. Hope they improve with age.
