Week #2 - Bougainvillea for Christmas
by Dale R. Palmer

This beautiful Bougainvillea is serving as my lady's Christmas tree this year. It is in full bloom for Christmas and when the sun light comes from behind it, it is quite a sight to behold. This photo does not do it justice.

Canon PowerShot SX50 HS
1/200s f/5.0 at 14.7mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Love how the bougainvillea frames the window. Love the beautiful view outside and the marvelous light.

It is a gorgeous plant in a lovely location with very flattering light - nicely shot, Dale.

I love this picture. The bougainvillea is gorgeous and the way you framed it really sets the scene.

Great use of the rule of 15. Looks like Dale snuck in a Christmas Cactus in the lower LH window pane. Subtle. Maybe it qualifies after all?

No, she won't be decorating the Bougainvillea for Christmas. Her plan is to tie a number of red ribbons around her 6 feet tall pencil plant as a second "tree".

Well done! I love the window as well.

Nice shot, I always like scenes like this one looking through a window. I imagine it
does look special with back lighting.

Does she decorate it for Christmas?
