Driving back home on this warm [hot!] spring day and the “Red Silk Cotton Tree” [Bombax ceiba] is in full bloom showing off its glory. The birds flocking to suck up the nectar offered by the large red flowers. Got my gear, and set up a tripod at the side of the street attracting a curious crowd of around 30. The birds went away but gradually came back as they must have gotten used to the bunch of humans gathered below.
