Day 173 – Variations on an Orchid

I had hoped to get out and take some photos after work today, but as I was driving home, I could see thunderheads forming overhead and by the time I got home it was starting to sprinkle and I could hear thunder nearby.  So I didn’t think it was prudent to be going out with my metal tripod and set up somewhere.  So I settled for taking photos at home.

This orchid plant is on its second growth.  Self-admitedly, I do not have a green thumb.  So I was very excited to have this orchid come around again.

I wanted to do a variation on the same subject.  I used the process with the glass of water that I tried last week.  I got much closer to the subject and I’m happy with how it turned out.

Then I photographed the orchid itself, and last of all, I got up close and personal.

  1. Stunning … stunning .. and more stunning …. the last is my pick. You’re getting creative and playful – excellent job, Maralee.

      1. *smile … no just a week on Sunday … packing had to change – because of all the weight I had to play with and no space – so bigger bag as second luggage – fine so fare. *smile – has misplaced my favorite perfume too – can’t find it anywhere. Typical me.

      1. I have 10 orchid plants. I have only orchids 🙂 only one has flowers now but they always come back blooming!

I'd love to hear from you
