Painted Bush Quail (Perdicula erythrorhyncha) - Male is the most beautiful of the quails from the sub continent. This is indeed special and from the recent trip
Poinsettia bushes (Euphorbia pulcherrima) grow in many yards and wild on hillsides throughout Hawai’i. Winter’s shortened days cause the poinsettia leaves to turn flaming red, indicating that Christmas is coming. The Hawaiian word for the poinsettia plant is Pua Kalikimaka, literally meaning, “Christmas flower.” The plant is also called “Christmas Star,” Zach Wood or noche buena. The latter name reveals that it is indigenous to Mexico and Central America. The plant was first introduced to the United States in 1825 by Joel Robert Poinsett. It is believed to have been brought to Hawai’i not long after. The plant thrives in Hawaii’s climate. This poinsettia bush was growing in a yard alone side the Kalea (South Point Road) on the Island of Hawai’i.

I tried to incorporate both positive and negative painting into this piece. My colours were all put down wet on wet to begin with and then when dry, I went in and created my design lightly with pencil before actually painting the roses.

Nigella damascena (love-in-a-mist, ragged lady or devil in the bush) is an annual garden flowering plant, belonging to the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. It is native to southern Europe (but adventive in more northern countries of Europe), north Africa and southwest Asia, where it is found on neglected, damp patches of land.
The specific epithet damascena relates to Damascus in Syria. The plant's common name comes from the flower being nestled in a ring of multifid, lacy bracts. It is also sometimes called devil-in-the-bush.
It grows to 20–50 cm (8–20 in) tall, with pinnately divided, thread-like, alternate leaves. The flowers, blooming in early summer, are most commonly different shades of blue, but can be white, pink, or pale purple, with 5 to 25 sepals. The actual petals are located at the base of the stamens and are minute and clawed. The sepals are the only colored part of the perianth. The four to five carpels of the compound pistil have each an erect style.
The fruit is a large and inflated capsule, growing from a compound ovary, and is composed of several united follicles, each containing numerous seeds. This is rather exceptional for a member of the buttercup family. The capsule becomes brown in late summer.

Though we have a fairly birdy yard, this is actually the first photo I have taken in the yard this year. Saw a little flock of Bush Tits in the trees out front from the window and out I went. Took a bunch of photos (10000 ISO), I got some clearer shots but this one within a dead section of hedge won out for cuteness.

Wishes sometimes come true... eventually. I photographed this a year ago on the UW-Madison campus. At the time, the html tag stencil grafitti expressed a wish, one that was clearly widely shared. It's one of my most viewed, faved and commented photos, with more than 1,600 views. I'm uploading it once again to celebrate that it's not just a wish anymore.
I have three little bushes in front of my house. Two have pink flowers and this one has white flowers. Unfortunately, the flowers are at the bottom of the bush where you can barely see them. I don't know what they are and probably they should be pruned occasionally, but I'm not particularly happy with the landscaper who chose them.
The Bush stone-curlew lives on the ground and is mostly nocturnal. It is also called the Bush Thick-knee and is found all over Australia except in the most arid areas. It is unlikely to be mistaken for any other bird, with its long skinny legs and large yellow eyes with white eyebrows.
They have a distinctive call – a long drawn-out wail heard mainly at dusk or at night. If you didn’t know what it was, it could sound quite eerie. Most curlews form a breeding pair for life and they can live for up to 30 years, so it is quite the commitment.
Bush stone-curlews forage for their food on the ground amongst leaf litter and fallen branches and twigs. They feed at night and eat primarily insects but also seeds and small reptiles or rodents. They live in open forests and woodlands and the female lays her eggs on the ground – no nest required. She usually lays them in the shelter of a fallen log, thought to be a way of shielding them from foxes.
You will be very lucky if you ever witness their courtship behaviour. They stamp their feet with their wings outstretched, their tail upright and their neck stretched slightly forward while calling loudly. This can last for up to an hour and is repeated until a female shows some interest.
Their main threats are habitat loss from land clearing and feral predators such as foxes. Removal of fallen wood for firewood is also becoming a problem as the curlews use it for camouflage to avoid predators and it is home to the insects they eat. They rely on camouflage as their main defence and when threatened, will freeze or crouch down to avoid detection.
They are pretty hard to spot as their colouring blends in with the bush, especially at dusk and evening when they are most active and at the greatest threat from predators.
Their range has dramatically reduced and, once widespread, the Bush stone-curlew is now found only in isolated pockets in some states.

When it blooms mid summer ( July early August ) it will put forth tiny white flowers that will cover the head of the clover.
Bush Vetch (Vicia sepium), growing in profusion throughout the Peak District and elsewhere. A member of the pea family. Photographed at Chee Dale.
This is a tiny patch of woodland in the middle of farm lands. The surrounding bush is normal but this patch is al warped and crooked.
This shot was taken in the wild NOT in a zoo :)

There are black and red bushings in black, red, blue, grey, and other hinges. Relatively easy to remove from a hinge using an axle. External diameter is the same as the stud diameter, therefore it is a very useful element. One of the applications shown here - any brick-to-brick connection is very strong, without comparison to the skeleton arm.
