Hi Joey,
ReplyDeleteThere must be quite some tunes coming from your plce as the pictures are spot on, particually the ladies slipper ones.
Cheers Mark
Wow I really like these photos of the inner parts of the orchid Joey, especially of the third set from the bottom with whisker like appendages. Reminds me of the whiskers/feelers of oriental dragon pictures. Wonderful quality of light in many of the pictures and the b&w is stunning.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark and Ki ... two of my favorite blogtrotters! Thank you both for popping in and the kind comments. Most appreciated since I honor your skill behind the lens. Let's hope for a beautiful spring and breathtaking subjects to photograph ;)
ReplyDeleteJoey, they are all so beautiful! Great captures of them also..nice B/W too! Hard to pick a favorite..but I am really drawn to the tropical ice~such beautiful vivid colors! And the ladys slipper
