When two friends understand each other totally, the words are soft and strong like an orchid’s perfume.

I took this photograph yesterday in afternoon light from my wifes orchid garden. This plant is amazing it keeps on blooming and never gets tired.

I was feeling really inspired by the writings of David duChemin yesterday so I drank a bottle of  good pinot grigio and  photographed orchids, trying to hand hold the camera to a 1/40 sec for an aperture f/11 while chasing some amazing afternoon light.  I long to be in Charleston and be back with “The Tree”, I am still finding amazing things to photograph in my house.
