Hi again 😁 Todays Fan Of… is combined with Cee’s Flower of The Day Challenge. I have gone for the Bird of Paradise. I had never really seen these elegant flowers until my wife and I took our first trip to California, and then as is the norm, started seeing them everywhere. Big Fan Of these flowers!

The first four pics are from our visits to Santa Monica and Malibu in California, the last two from Kibble Palace in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens.

I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, on our Kalkhoff e-bikes. My faithful camera, Snappy, and the ever-present Lensy (lensball) are always along for the ride to capture the beauty of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Join me as I share photos from our travels, how Lensy views the world & pretty much anything shiny ✨ View all posts by Photos by Jez
