Artist's Description
Although it is native to the Ethiopian region of tropical east Africa, the castor bean or castor plant (Ricinus communis) has become naturalized in tropical and warm temperate regions throughout the world, and is becoming an increasingly abundant weed in the southwestern United States.

About Chris Lord
Contemporary Photographic Art and Travel Photography. I'm the Head Pixie and Pixel Pusher at Pixielated Pixels, British born and bred but New York City-based. I first picked up a camera around 60 years ago. After all these years I am finally happy, creating the images I always dreamed of. Shooting film and printing in the darkroom never gave me as much pleasure as powerful computers and Adobe's wonderful software does today. I began working with computers in the mid-1980s, and now I have become confident and competent with the tools at hand and feel that the world has finally caught up with my eclectic artistic vision. Intense and powerful colors and a somewhat surreal take on reality are the way my mind works and I enjoy producing images...

Nothing like red and gold...lovely capture, Chris!!

I had noticed these plants before but had no idea what they were, nor had I seen the little gold flowers. Just had to grab a few macro shots. Glad you liked it Robin-Lee, thanks so much for the nice comment, cheers.

This is beautiful, Chris! The reds are wonderful.
Chris Lord replied:
There were two of these plants growing about 7 feet high on opposite sides of a traffic circle near the entrnace to Fort Tryon Park. Real beauties both but te beauty is best seen in macro mode like this.I'm super pleased that you enjoyed it Mary, thank you so much, cheers.
