la orquídea 

sometimes beauty just hits me deep in the pit of stomach

not in a painful way of course,

but that beautiful, aching, delightful way

when i saw this 

i felt that way

i just sighed and went ooooooohhhhhh!!!

so i knew right away that today  i wanted to photograph

it in all it's glory

sounds easy right?

not.

when the orchid was on the tree, the light was all wrong!

it was dark and it was covered ants 

and just not what i wanted

so i picked it

whacked off all the ants

which i should mention i got bite severely out there

trying to get the photo...

 feel sorry for me??

anyways,

i put it in a lovely little vase but it still

didn't look right

so i saw one of faithful seashells on the railing

and thought

perfect!!

yup.

the seashell was the perfect vase.

thanks mr. shell

thanks God for making such beauty

and thanks to you

if you are still reading this rambling blog...
