Photo Hunt #55: Upside down


red hot poker, originally uploaded by M'roy.

This week's theme posed quite a challenge for me, although I have some sort of an idea what to post (i.e. reflection). However,I thought why not stretch it out a little bit and so off I went digging into the archives again and found this.

Some plants produce flowers that bloom upside down like the red hot poker, which is a big hit with hummingbirds. I spent countless moments watching a hummingbird enjoy this delectable goodness.

PHOTO HUNT is hosted by TNCHICK. Join us in the hunt.

    Awesome photo, love those colors. Love your take on the theme too; I wouldn't have thought about upside down blossoms.

    Happy weekend.

    Lovely red and you did capture it well. Reds are sometimes difficult to photograph.

    Great photo! I love those flowers, too.

    Here's mine... kinda wordy today. I didn't want to go on a trapeze bar and I have no pics of mountains. :S

    «Louis» is sorry he missed you at the Solano Stroll! He was wandering between his shop (corner of San Pablo at Solano) and his booth. «Louis» would have loved to meet you!
