This photo is taken at the courtyard of Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. Salk Institute is an architecture masterpiece designed by Louis Kahn (1901-1974), one of the foremost twentieth-century U.S. architect, educator, and philosopher.
Louis Kahn said "A Great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable."
I think this concept apply to photography as well!

Hummingbirds are birds in the family Trochilidae, and are native to the Americas. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12-90 times per second (depending on the species). They can also fly backwards, and are the only group of birds able to do so. Their English name derives from the characteristic hum made by their rapid wing beats. They can fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph).

Peacock has long been known and valued for its brilliant tail feathers. The bright spots on it are known as "eyes", and inspired the Greek myth that Hera placed the hundred eyes of her slain giant Argus on the tail of her favorite bird.

Yes, I do ?

The Man With the Blue Guitar

The Man With the Blue Guitar

The man bent over his guitar,  
A shearsman of sorts.
The day was green.
They said, "You have a blue guitar,  
You do not play things as they are."
The man replied,
"Things as they are  Are changed upon the blue guitar."
And they said then,
"But play, you must,  A tune beyond us, yet ourselves,
A tune upon the blue guitar  Of things exactly as they
are."

I cry for the land  

Of unlimited hope-opportunities.  

When I smile,  

I smile at the sky  

Of unlimited achievement-realities.

Ordinary?

It is a very ordinary flower, a day-to-day flower, which is everywhere. A Monk looks at it. It is the first time he has ever really looked at it, because it is so ordinary, so obvious. It is always to be found somewhere, so he never bothered to really look at it before. He looks into it - and satori happens.
An ordinary flower is never looked at. It is so common that you forget it. So the monk has never really seen this flower before. For the first time in his life he has seen it, and the event became phenomenal. This first meeting with the flower, with this very ordinary flower, becomes unique. Now he feels sorry for it. It has always been there waiting for him, but he has never looked at it. He feels sorry for it, asks its pardon... and the thing happens.
The flower is there, and the monk is standing there dancing. Someone asks, “What are you doing!”
He says, “I have seen something uncommon in a very common flower. The flower was always waiting; I never looked at it before - but today a meeting has happened.” The flower is not common now. The monk has penetrated into it, and the flower has penetrated into the monk.

Camillia are evergreen shrubs and small trees 2–20 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, thick, serrated, usually glossy, and 3–17 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 1–12 cm diameter, with (in natural conditions) 5–9 petals; colour varies from white to pink and red, and yellow in a few species.

Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, is of major commercial importance because tea is made from its leaves. While the finest teas are produced by C. sinensis courtesy of millennia of selective breeding of this species, many other camellias can be used to produce a similar beverage.
