Between October 10 and 16 our Bird of Paradise plant blossomed and I took several pictures of it.
These pictures were taken using a Kodak DC280 digital camera, 1760x1168 pixels, JPEG compression. Photo retrieval using an external SanDisk flash memory card reader via the generic USB storage driver. Editing was with GIMP v1.2.2. Copyright © 2004 by James F. Carter. Feel free to download any of the images for personal use; just give me a photo credit. Contact me for unedited images at 1760x1168 pixels (JPEG), specifying the filename shown by your browser. <jimc@math.ucla.edu>
