Red Hibiscus
One of my favorite places to take photos would be my parent in law's complex. They have a lot of beautiful flowers around the place and I like to take my time walking along the streets with my husband's KYOCERA on my neck. We visit them almost every week and it has become my new routine to go on these morning strolls.
I would like to thank my friends who have been giving me so many wonderful tips on photography. Please, bear with me as I am in the process of exploring this new hobby :). Last Sunday, I have been trying to apply some of the given advice on the macro (close up) shots and the red hibiscus here was one of the results. It is my first entry on Macro Monday and I also would like to submit it for this week's Mellow Yellow Monday and Ruby Tuesday. Have a great week, everybody :)!

That was a wonderful macro shot. Good work. You learn fast.. Have a nice day..
Multi tasking eh? ;-)
Well done, lovely shot!
I like this flower too. This is really good. Same with me one shot for the memes.
Rosidah - that is a great first attempt on macro! It is all about practice, focus on the camera and a steady hand! My first attempt wasn't nearly as good as this!
Very nice first entry on Macro Monday! And hibiscus is a wonderful flower, isn't it? :)
Best wishes!
not to worry, we are all learning as we go. that is the fun thing about photography!! you can learn just through doing. good shot!
Says summer and sunshine
So red. Very bright!
Covered all three memes, Rosidah! Wow! Great work! :) :)
Spectacular! multi-purpose photo for your three meme, you are very good Rosidah. I am so please to learned that you are into photography. You have a natural talent in that field. Click here and click there! you will definitely be one of the best photography in the world.
A lovely macro Rosidah! I love the vibrant red of the Hibiscus!
The colors are beautiful, I love that type of flower.
You're doing great! Close up shots are the hardest for me - I can't get my camera to cooperate! hehehe
That's definitely a burst of red & very pretty!
Very nice flower macro! You're learning fast and well. Keep it up!
Nice composition. I prefer shots with a dynamic, off center layout to the straight on, more common ones. My tip: look for the unusual angles that others may not see.
How fun to tie it into several memes. :) My mom has some red hibiscus in her yard and I always enjoy it! Lovely pic!
I have no idea what a macro shot is but I think the hibiscus photo is lovely!
You have captured so well this delicate detailing of this pretty flower. A beautiful view of warm weather that I hope happens here soon!
Beautiful red.

You are doing good. That's a beautiful shot of the hibiscus.
A lovely red hibiscus for Ruby Tuesday! :)
Apa kapah Rosidah,
These are the few Bahasa Indo words I know. I tell people I am from Borneo, because most people know Borneo rather than sarawak or malaysia. I was born in sarawak before it was Malaysia, we did not have to speak BM. The local Sarawak malay is slightly different from BM or B Indo.
I like the hibiscus flower. I just bought a hisbicus flower drink, which I was going to blog. You ever had this drink before?
terima Kaseh for visiting my blog. Let's be kawan, OK. You understand my Sarawak Malay. I also lived in 16 years in Singapore where I kawan many maids from Indonesia. I chacap with everyone lah. I also got bagus friends from Indonesia.
De Mana you tingal in Indonesia? I only been to Bali.
Cheers,
Ann :)
What a beautiful Hibiscus - perfect for all the memes!
Very lovely! :)
Very clever ... and a SUPER photo!
Great photo. Macros are my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty, and good for you for expanding your photography horizons too.
I love hibiscus flowers, they're blooming all over my neighborhood now as well.
This is a great macro, you sure learn fast!
Gorgeous. I love how velvety the center looks.
My choice for Ruby Tuesday is posted here.
Hibiscus are beautiful, graceful flowers. You shot this one well for your first Macro Monday post. It seems to be so tropical where you are with all those lovely plants. Thanks for you comment on my RT post. Enjoy the day...

Goregeous Hibiscus gotta love it! Have you seen the blue variety? They are smaller but just lovely!
I like how you got the yellow in the foreground. Pretty red hibiscus for Ruby Tuesday!

I think your picture is very well done. I'm just learning too, I'm having a really good time in the process. Keep up the wonderful work!!!
