I love gardenias. I've never had any luck growing them here though.

Tcm and Cqtech, I would love to claim credit for the flying birds but alas I didn't take them.  They were sent by a friend to post.

Like every spider they have 8 eyes, some eyes are smaller and are located on the very back and top of the head.

Tcm, my friends says the following:

 "If you use your mysterious camera and attach the zoom lens, arm yourself with some bread, find a place where gulls and flying things inhabit you too can capture flying thing pictures.
Set the camera to the "S" (shutter priority) and set the shutter speed to somewhere between 1/200 to 1/500 depending on the light level, adjust the zoom to a frame lager than say 10 bird lengths, throw some bread away from where they are and they should fly to the bread.  follow their flight path and just keep clicking. Repeat many time and you are bound to get a few good pictures"
