Hibiscus mutabilis is an old-fashioned perennial or shrub hibiscus better known as the Confederate rose. It tends to be shrubby or treelike in Zones 9 and 10, though it behaves more like a perennial further north. Flowers are double and are 4 to 6 inches in diameter ( 10 to 15 cm ); they open white , and change to deep red by evening.
Bloom season usually lasts from summer through fall. Propagation by cuttings root easiest in early spring, but cuttings can be taken at almost any time. When it does not freeze, the Confederate rose can reach heights of 12 to 15 feet with a woody trunk; however, a multi-trunk bush 6 to 8 feet tall is more typical. Once a very common plant throughout the South, Confederate rose is an interesting and attractive plant that grows in full sun or partial shade, and prefers rich, well-drained soil.

Just some weak backyard shots of birds on wires.
The Hawks have been neighborhood regulars for some time but this is the first time I have seen a Kestrel in the immediate neighborhood.

A photo I took casually in a relative's backyard.....in my opinion there are photographic opportunities everywhere.
This is a shot of my backyard pond that I put in a few years ago. This shot was taken at dusk. Most of the lighting is from to speedlights and the pond light. www.tryburn.zenfolio.com
Stoblist: I used two canon 580EX II flashes bounced off umbrellas. One was placed at the far left, directly facing the waterfall itself. The other was just to the left of the camera. The flashes were triggered with a ST-E2.
There is also a pond light which is below the waterfall and is a 250watt light.

Backyard.
Now that winter has taken off its coat.
The backyard starts to come alive once again.
The flowers struggle to regain their former glorious stature.
The trees sing with glee,
as the birds fly around with delight,
The back yard is the place where most come in contact with the real world for the first time.
A place where the imagination can flourish with nothing,
but a stick or some rocks.
The backyard often looked at,
not fully appreciated.
Take time out and take in all the sights of your own (Backyard).
