    Fantastic contrast. Great capture on this photo. I just read another Haiku post using the word crimson, so, your use jumped out and grabbed at me, made it more powerful. Funny how that happens, after all, there are no coincidences. Hope all is good with you.

    Much Peace

    The hummingbirds, like the human, need to head to the hills to escape the crowds. So being near the city is okay, the views of the expanse below is neat, there but not quite there!

    That is a beautiful scene. The bright red flower, the shadows on the walkway, the mountains in the far background, and the city with it’s houses and buildings all come together to make a wonderful photo.
