Thank you, Jane 🙂 You have to get right down in the grass to get them at this angle … but worth the trouble, I think 🙂

Thank you very much, Sandra. I don’t get to see many orchids my way, so this is always a pleasure to see growing wild 🙂 Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Like you, I am always excited to find an orchid…any orchid. Our lady’s slippers should be showing up soon which not only says spring but also that warm weather has indeed returned. Lovely shot, Pete.
