Orchids on trees! No, it's Bauhinia.
The Bauhinia Tree is also called the Orchid Tree. Imagine looking out your back door and seeing a tree simply covered with these glorious blossoms!
I love the delicate creamy stamens on their rosy filaments and the play of light and shadow they create on the pink and rose veins of its petals.

Hippeastrum: Stamens with filaments (white) ending in anthers carrying pollen.
Although the 1987 decision settled the question of the scientific name of the genus, the common name "amaryllis" continues to be used. Bulbs sold as amaryllis and described as ready to bloom for the holidays belong to the genus Hippeastrum. "Amaryllis" is also used in the name of some societies devoted to the genus Hippeastrum. Separate common names are used to describe the genus Amaryllis, e.g., "Naked Lady"
This encounter with a blooming plant made me especially happy. When walking back to my parked vehicle, I spied a burst of yellow out of the corner of my eye. Fortunately I'd been taking pictures earlier in the day and had my macro lens with me. I sprinted to my car to retrieve my macro lens and spent many happy minutes taking in the thin filaments of white with their yellow anthers. As Henri Matisse said, "There are always flowers for those who want to see them."

For the modern vs. vintage, I chose to shot a candle with flame for vintage along with the desk lamp connect to electric. For those few days that Broken Arrow and Tulsa was powerless the old candles and battery radio was nice to have.

Did I ever mention I love Lilies and of course Tom Petty. Title from from the lyrics, You Don't Know How It Feels.
Filaments - Hummingbirds are some of my favorite subjects. When I photograph a subject that I don't have to put too much effort to find, I instead like to challenge myself to capture something unique like behavior or detail. In this case, I headed out to the coast deliberately on a bright overcast day, as this lighting seems to bring out the iridescence of hummingbirds best, allowing me to capture maximum detail.
I had a blast photographing Allen's Hummingbirds for the first time with a mirrorless rig. What I didn't count on was taking over 3,000 pics unintentionally - 20 frames per second gives too many images in some cases. However, a benefit of that is you get every pose you could ask for. Was very happy to capture every single feather filament of this hummingbird!
