I have seen many wonderful creations of Nature. The Cannonball tree and the Lovely flower called the Cobra Flower are Holy for both Buddhists and Hindus. The Gautama Buddha was born under this Holy Tree . This tree is called SAL tree in Thailand and is in Buddhist Temples in Thailand. The small village Temple I go to for prayers and chanting , has the Cannonball tree . I photographed my favorite Cobra flowers , several times. This flower is called Nagalinga Flower in India.Editing

Wide angle and close to the flower , and not touching the flowers. 3. b. sometimes , take a zoom snap to keep the flower in focus and not the background.
