Orchids 2

Posted by Slackwater - don (spokane, United States) on 9 March 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Orchids for a blue Monday! We had 1-2 inches of snow yesterday, heavy gusts driving the snow around, and now frigid temperatures due to arrive tomorrow night. I keep telling myself that spring is here...well practically here. :-)

Nice close-up. Orchids are one of the most beautifull flowers in the world.
And about the spring, everyone hopes it will come early

Beautiful color! and shapes! And detail and background and that one touch of green is essential and contrasts so well with the center of the orchid - and the slight diagonal is excellent framing.

We were at +13 C and now are at -17. Yikes. That shot of orchids has warmed my frozen being.

Tack sharp image Don and so perfectly exposed. I too posted images for today and tomorrow that reminded me of warmer days. We had a raging snow storm and blizzard conditions with a windchill factor of minus 50 (yes minus 50)C. This morning it's minus 37C before any windchill factor, so I can understand why you chose this beautiful image for today.
