" Don't let a bird of paradise fly up your nose"

Sorry for the pun but I have to wing it this morning! I'll be flying by the seat of my pants.. and there will not be feathers flying everywhere. One of my favorite sights in California is the beautiful Bird of Paradise. One doesn't have to watch the friendly sky's or listen for the morning chirps and tweets for the flock. No, Bird of Paradise is everywhere here on the ground and greatly admired, even in December. It doesn't fly south for the summer and it won't fly up your nose, it has no scent. Enjoy the photo and the chuckle. (click on photo to see details)
