The island of Madeira is lapped by the waters of the Gulf Stream with warm comfortable summers and mild winters that make it an enchanting holiday destination all year round. A place to visit there is the wonderful Botanical Garden, in the city of Funchal,where the photo I leave you today was taken.

Botanical Garden boasts harmonious forms, contrasting colours and more than 2000 plants. Throughout the gardens visitors can find the plants labelled with their scientific names, common name and origin.

There are five main areas to visit:
- Indigenous and endemic: a place where you can see plants exclusively from Madeira and other Atlantic islands like the Azores, Canaries and Cape Verde.
- Tree Garden: Here you find plants from ecologically opposed areas of the earth, like the Himalaya and the Tropics.
- Succulents: The capacity of storing water is what distinguishes the plants in this department, most of them coming from South America.
- Tropical/Cultivated/Aromatic/Medicinal: In this area several tropical and subtropical fruit trees – such as mango, papaya, avocado – as well as coffee trees, sugar cane and popular medicine plants can be seen.
- Loiro Park: The Loiro Park gathers some of the most exotic and rare birds. Cockatoos and ‘Loricos’ (a parrot species) from the Asiatic tropical islands, Australian parakeets and dwarf parrots are only some of the many bird species that you can find in this park.

I hope you enjoy my «esterlícia», also known as the «byrd of paradise.

Greetings JMB,I'm surprised that the flower kept its bloom that long for the spider to weave its web:)I like hoe the colors blend so well & how you have captured the light,especially on the web.

Hello Jose,

Finally I found some time to check some interesting galleries.. :)
Wonderful study of nature. Looks like an abstract work:) Nice vivid colors.
Best,
Iza

Hi Jose,
The flower looks good but it is the cobweb that made this special. Well captured and framed. The shallow DOF is perfect to background your main subject. Well done! tfs

Hello Jose,
youre very talented in seeing something beyond an ordinary eye. This one for example, you indicate the birds of paradise but you express your eyes on the spiderweb which is of great clarity and lovely expression. My view via my experienceis that, a beginner in photography would appreciate this type. They are not photogenic. But as I develop , I feel that this type is very exciting and challenging.
Wonderful composition and excellent presentation.

Regards,
Foozi

NB: I like you cowboy hat and also your wheel of labour shot, they have some correlation in your personality I guess?

Boa noite José,
Deslumbrante captura dessa linda estrelitzia.
Bem composta e harmoniosa, você conseguiu transmitir a textura da planta.
Magnífica apresentação.
