Bird of paradise taking off

With the late sunlight falling on it this bird of paradise flower does look like a bird taking off. The bokeh circles are caused by the dirty windows :-) Most of today those windows were giving the view as in the extra. We're having the outside of the house painted and 3 painters showed up today who started to wash and scrub all the woodwork.

Remember that tomorrow it's the first Thursday of the month and thus there is no theme for Abstract Thursday, you're free to enter any kind of abstract shot taken or made tomorrow. The tag will be AT254.

Thanks very much for the kind comments and stars for yesterday's peony macro :-)
