Once more for the orchid group.
What gets me about this one is when you look at it up close, how incredibly hairy it is. See here: farm5.static.flickr.com/4025/4420866739_231c062784_o.jpg
Another of Nature’s interesting aspects. There’s enough interest in the world around me to last several lifetimes. Imagine the wonders that are in the vast universe of stars and planets. I’d never be bored.
Being an observer of life is plenty enough to fill my cup to overflowing. When I hear someone, or worse, feel myself being bored, that’s when I realize there’s too much inward looking going on and not enough appreciation of life that’s beyond me.
Going for a walk, in any weather, is enough to fill notebooks with what bits of beauty, nuances of nature, wonders of the wide world that lay within reach of my feet.
Even the tiny hairs on this orchid are fascinating. I’d overlooked them before, when I first reviewed this photo two years ago. Lucky me, I’ve got new eyes to see them and appreciate their particular peculiarity.
A real eye-popper … with masterful field of focus.
