Beautiful series, Dave.

When I first came to the Hog in 2014, I was weak in photography knowledge and weaker in pp knowledge. UHH has been a fantastic learning experience.

Thanks, Earnest.

Beautiful set of rarely seen wild orchids. Thanks for posting those.

I posted an orchid shot a few years ago not knowing what it really was. A friendly Hog educated me. This a great place to learn. Thank you.

Excellent set of beautiful Orchids Dave.

Hi, Sylvia. Do you have anything like Sarracenia (pitcher plants) in England? Their range extends up into Canada. Thanks for coming by.

The last image is my favorite. I have not seen this red-veined species in North Florida Swamps.

Thank you, Murex. I have looked through my bog shots of the past ten years and do not find that one. Have to wonder how it appears all of a sudden.

My first photo safari into the the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden in Wilmington NC was in 2010. This year I made my 11th annual safari into the bog. It was later in the season than I would like, but I can thank 11 weeks of lockdown in Virginia.

I have been in there at the end of May several times and found much better pitcher plant (sarracenia) flowers than I did this time. Don't know what may the problem (mild winter, wetter spring?) may be.

So the show plants this time were the orchids which I had never captured well before. The flytraps are recovering after a vandal stole hundreds of them a few years ago. For those unaware, flytraps are no larger than the your finger to the first joint. Really need a macro...some day.

So a potpourri of shots from early yesterday.

So What is Wrong with Tattoos on Women?!?!

I've chosen not to read every reply in 10 pages, so this may be redundant.

Are we allowed to say that so many tattoos are just not very good? Frequently they are an act of expression by a young person who just cannot afford to hire a true artist.

Wonderful set, Dave!

Many thanks, Mike. You probably have to go a ways to find shoreline. But I do like your geology.
