'silk floss' by Me the wanderer

silk floss, originally uploaded by Me the wanderer.

Today I learned that orange Bacardi Breezer does not come out of silk after dry cleaning! It's unlucky really because I never usually wear silk or drink Bacardi Breezers.

Anyway, to bring this randomness back to photography I searched for 'Bacardi Breezer' on Flickr and got lots of perfectly nice pictures of drink bottles. But when I searched for 'silk' I found this stunning photo and just had to share it. It's apparently a flower from the silk floss tree. I shall leave it to you to google for more information on that should you be intereted. The photo is amazing though. It looks like a huge flower doesn't it, with the little birds flying around it? I love the brightness of the flower and the changing shades of the sky.

Just think, if I hadn't spilled drink on my top on Friday night then I would never have found this gorgeous photo. Every cloud has a silver lining eh!
