(Day 42) Back to the jungle
In a day or 2 we'll be leaving this place where I find a lot of the flora to be of the 'exotic' variety. I suppose if you live here it might not strike you that way. I'm sure more than a few people wondered why I was taking photos of plants (and animals) that they considered to be quite ordinary - perhaps I would similarly wonder why people would take photos of plants and animals where I live. So, despite a few glances from a neighbour out in his yard, I took some photos of the outdoor garden plants that I'd likely not find in a nursery back home.

Don't you just love the jungle?
I really like the perspective on the second one!
Thank you. Yes - there's something intriguing and mysterious about the jungle !
I don't care what you take pictures of as long as they're beautiful or different. I love both shots above because of the vivid colors and the DoF.
By the way, your name sounds dutch. I live in the Netherlands and was just being curious if you're Nederlands.
The second photo is very beautiful.
Thank you for visiting my blog and following. I will be doing the same ;)
By the way - great nickname for 'Pinocchio' bird!

@M. Hassan - thanks for your comments. Yes, Dutch origin. Emigrated when I was 6 maar ik kan nog een beetje nederlands schrijven en kan het ook nog spreken (ben in IJsselmuiden geboren).
@Avery - thank you. Love your nature photos - you're quite accomplished.
So, you've never been back to Holland?
@M.Hassan - yes, 3 times now ('72 and 2x in '08). My parents always spoke Dutch (en plat) at home & I learned to read/write it on my own.
@Kerri - thank you.
Where in Nederland does your parents come from, Groningen? I live in Hoogezand near Groningen and have lived in Groningen in the past.
My father came from western Holland (Naaldwijk), my mother from Overijssel (IJsselmuiden).
