Dancing hibiscus, petals look like fluttered hem of dresses

The petals in this picture look like fluttered hem of ballerinas' dresses which turn round and round in a Vienna waltz.

Please try to look at this picture while listening to Vienna waltz.

I'm happy if you could have an illusion that the red dresses in this picture go around and round and round!

I've used EOS7D after a long time. I was fed up with the size and the weight of EOS7D with macro lens.

After all, a mirrorless SLC is the best for me, because of its light weight and compact size. That's why, I'm addicted to Fujifilm X-T1 and X-E1 thoroughly.

The mirrorless DSLC gives us the opportunity to use old lenses again. That is why I use both Olympus Pen E-P3 and Fujifilm X-E1 rather than my EOS7D.
The Olympus announced their new product Pen E-P5 to be released in coming June. I would buy it or not, I'll be troubled again with this announcement.

Thank you for viewing in lightbox, wishing you a happy Wednesday!

I saw the news on TV and other medias about the 7-magnitude earthquake struck the Sichuan province in China on 20th April.
It’s a terrible situation, a lot of people still afraid of aftershocks and await water and food. 
I've been to Chengdu（成都） the capital city of Sichuan province（四川省） twice. That place is so beautiful area with depth green and homeland of Giant Panda. So I really hope that all victims should be rescued as early as possible. However, I'm afraid that Chinese government declined offers for support from the international community.
