I just loved this hibiscus in the garden, though i did wonder how in the world do they handle the long protruding growth, so delicate, yet fights all the storms and rain and stands tall.
Another pseudo macro (without macro lens hehe... still adding to get a decent macro lens ) addition to my "Colors Of Nature" series.
I would like to sincerely apologize to all my freinds for not being able to be regular last week. I will catch up soon.
