This is the place I'd like to send Edda and Leon (when they are ready) and everyone else who needs a break from the bleak winter cold weather.

This photo reminds me that if you see things from a different perspective, sometimes there is unexpected beauty revealed.

I love the amazingly intricate detail you can see at this magnification.

Status: offline 		Thankful One, I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your flower pictures.  I've been experiencing winter doldrums this year.  I don't mind the cold, and the gray skies have their own beauty along with the bare trees.  But we've had so much of that.  I'm ready for sunshine, and bright color.  Your flower pictures are "just the ticket" for now.  Thank you!

Status: offline 		Thankful One, This morning I showed your flower photos to my neighbor, who is a great gardener and knows everything about orchids. He was able to name all the single flowers. I forgot to lead him to this new thread, though - so that will follow tomorrow. Thank you for so much color !!!
