Shakespeare Regional Park, Auckland, North Island, NZ

We took a 2-3 hour walk up into the hills of Shakespeare Regional Park. It sits on the coast and has a great view of Auckland City from across the water. It was towards the end of the holiday and it was nice to get some last minute sun and fresh air. The yellow and green rolling hills, coast line and sea were all awesome to shoot; I was just annoyed I had so little space left on my camera!

Mimulus flowers, probably, from front, Mission Trails Regional Park

Image by Martin LaBar
Red flowers, perhaps an inch/3 cm high, taken in Mission Trails Regional Park, San Diego County, California, USA. More detail at the larger sizes. I didn’t see the insect in the flower on the left side until I looked at the photo on the computer. I like the shadows of the reproductive parts, which are on the lower petals.
For a side view, see here.
Based on the comments from the ID Please group, this is probably an example of Mimulus. Thanks.
The "magic donkey" algorithm that selects the "most interesting" photos is fickle, but, as of 3:30 AM, PDT, May 2, this photo ranked number 7 for April 27th, so far as I know, the highest rank one of our photos has ever achieved. Thanks, viewers! Isn’t God a great artist?
