Unique Orchid
Enjoy!
That's a really nice orchid shot.
I guessed "leopard orchid" - spot on (I think!)
"This orchid is native to tropical and southern Africa,[2] found alongside coasts and rivers in the canopy of trees, usually at elevations lower than 700 m (occasionally up to 2,200 m)"

YM Camera in Boardman, Ohio is running a "Summer Sizzler" sales event this weekend. I went up yesterday with a box full of old lenses and ended up with $440 off the regular $799 price of a Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 lens, something I've been wanting since its release. Here are a few of the first images from it - it will be getting a workout at a reunion we're attending this afternoon.

Welcome everyone to the ninth "No Host, Just Post, No Obligation Weekend"
Thank you Pat for hosting the "Summer Sizzle Challenge”, It was a very hot and sizzling topic with cool photos to prove it.
After starting this weekend off, I'll be working out of town preparing for a huge family auction next weekend and won’t be back until Monday.
Post whatever you like, but do keep in mind that this is a family friendly section.
Comments on submissions are welcomed but don't feel obligated to comment. Please don't be offended if your image doesn't receive any comments. Summer is a short and busy time of year for everyone, and not all have that much spare time..
I'll start it off with a few.
Have a great weekend.
