Bougainvillea

I like the bright colours! They'd never become invasive in Germany, wouldn't survive the winter;-)

Outstanding capture!

So beautiful!!! Too invasive?! LOL, I wish I had that problem!

Wait a second.

Takes a look at you...runs...leaps...and LANDS on you for a great big hug! :)

So nice to visit your stream again my good friend! :)

I hope you have been well. :)

As for the bougainvillia...*sigh*... a beautiful image.

We live in an area where it grows but must be watered carefully every day to keep it alive. In San Francisco, (where my dad lives, not Medford, Oregon, where I live) it does very well without help, due to the high humidity.

I digress.

I must admit...thinking about you makes me think about wild places and incredible adventures.

Stop for a moment.

That's pretty cool.

*big hugs my dear friend* I hope...some day...that I will be able to give you a REAL hug. It might happen. :) It might just very well...

Hey, great to hear from you, Janet. Big hugs to you also. :-)

Apologies that I've taken so long to respond, other things catching up and replies are running waaay behind. Time escapes .... as I know you have found at times! I do hope that you're still finding time to grab more lovely images such as the one you posted the other day.

Bougainvilleas seem to grow particularly well here. Virtually no frost as we're on the coast, and usually plenty of humidity - though they do need watering fairly often, particularly as they're now in pots.

And yes, big *real* hugs will indeed be in order should you find yourself pointing in this direction. :-)

Bien vu et bien rendu ..!

Very nicely composed!

Wonderful colours.
Have a nice weekend.

Wonderful floral image here Well done George Regards Tess.

o0o they are beautiful to see ... all the colours they come in are so lovely,
I had one in a plant pot on my window sill .... ;-) will not survive outside here,
and it did not survive inside either ;-) all the leaves dropped off .... ;-)
was it something I said ......... ;-) oOo

Many thanks for all your comments and faves on this image. I took it largely as a test of a new lens (it passed).
