I love taking macro shots at older historical sites and gardens, also if you bring a piece of blank paper into a greenhouse, you can make it seem like a studio. If it is during a sunset, you can bring a flashlight, like... a good one would be a 9 lumen LED flashlight from a distance. Just shine it at the paper. Or bring a water sprayer or dropper, and just make it look like morning. The paper works good with an easel. I'm only 12, and I have an eye for macro.

This flower is called the yellow hibiscus flower, when it's open it will like the the flower in the 4th picture :)

You ought to crop the picture of the hoepoe to make it easier for folk to see such a magnificent bird.

I'm jealous you had one on your lawn.

Thank you for your interest, i added a couple more pictures that i had of the hoopoe.

actually there were days where there were whole families of them surrounding the garden, i just don't know why i didn't pick my camera and take some pictures :D

Click the "i" in the corner, and you can look at the photo at the same size it was uploaded, and zoom in as well.

No, I know that. I meant, how did you know that the bird is called a hoepoe? That, is the amazing thing.

Thanks.

Oh!

It's a very distinctive bird, very few other species look similar.

I'm a birder as well as a Maker. I've never seen a hoepoe in the flesh, but they do occasionally turn up in the UK.

I actually do enjoy small-scale birding on my front porch. Unfortunately, I have never seen a hoepoe (I have seen an indigo bunting, though, and that was cool).
