You can put each shot on your wall and fill up your wall! Great shots!


Thank you very much, George! That is a very nice compliment.

Thank you, John! Fortunately they live in a greenhouse safe from the uncertainties of winter weather!

Nice Images Carol. Well done and sharp.
Our Club is going to do the same type shoot in a week. I hope I do as well.

Thank you, Don! I used a tripod on all of these because of subdued lighting. The biggest challenge was background distractions - spots of bright light showing through and brightly colored flowers behind the subject flower. It took some careful study.

Saturday morning I visited a local orchid and exotic plant grower in Deland, E.F.G Orchids, with the local camera club. They very generously welcome photogrophers, tripods and all. Here are just a few of the beauties I encountered.

Thank you, Corky! Sorry if your weather is dreary. We are in full swing spring down here. Of course, it could turn around and frost or freeze at any time. We are hitting the low 80’s which is way too warm for this time of year!

So glad that you are getting some great weather, Carol and you certainly were due for some! It was warm here yesterday but just seemed to be very dreary. We had family down for the weekend and now the house seemed very quiet and had just read several very sad things on the hog and then your beautiful pot came at just the right time! Speaking of the weather, it is very warm here also and think the forecast is for 73 today and then dropping back to highs in the 40's tomorrow. When I looked out towards the river this morning the fog was heavy and looked almost surreal and was thinking about taking a shot or two but new that the birds would be waiting so prepared some food for the backyard crew and when I opened the outside door the rain was pouring down so quickly fed them while almost getting soaked and still haven't provided any nourishment for the front forty crew, but from what I can see they still have seed but no jam or bark butter! I'm typing with a little handicap as Bella is sitting on my lap with her head resting on my wrist while she is looking through the window and scanning for predators! : sm02: Take care and hope you have a great day!

Thank you! Living in Sarasota, you probably have good luck growing orchids.

I have to fill feeders first thing in the morning, too. If I don’t, I can hear them scolding me! Having Bella right at hand should make all right in the world!
