While preparing my lunch a few weeks ago, I looked out of the window over the sink & noticed the robin’s nest from last year was occupied. Like a kid, I got all excited. I don’t claim to be an ornithologist so I researched aKa Googled to see if robins reused there nests from previous years. […]

One of my favorite blooms to see & smell this time of year are those of the magnolia tree. Every time I see a magnolia tree, I get a little excited. The bright colors & intoxicating perfume just send me! The flowers while beautiful and smile inducing also remind me of the song “Strange Fruit” […]
I’ve been a Getty Images creative contributor with the Flickr Collection for a couple of years now and it has been a profitable enjoyable experience. Many times since 2008 I have posted about my “need” to submit an application to become a regular creative Getty Images contributor. I took the little quiz way back when and […]
Reminds me of a daffodil (my favorite spring flower) crossed with a gladiolus, but it’s a cattleya orchid (BLC Husky Boy Romeo if you want to get all specific.). Like my beloved daffodil & gladiolus, this orchid only blooms one a year. Luckily, the flower lasts at least a month on this type of orchid. […]
Like the nerd that I am, I hung out at the Michigan Orchid Society Show to see some new beauties and hopefully pick up one or two. The exhibits were huge and very diverse, much larger than the Ann Arbor Orchid Festival. What I found not so great about the Michigan Orchid Society Show was […]
Over the weekend, I hung out at the Ann Arbor Orchid Festival to totally submerge myself into my new orchid obsession. This event was on my calendar for months & I was totally ready to be wowed & boy was I. I’m not sure how many people attended, but that place remained packed during the […]
I haven’t posted one of my macro photos in a while & quite frankly, I miss taking them. With spring rapidly approaching, there will be more coming and I cannot wait! Pictured above is one of my phalaenopsis orchids. When I got it, it was not in bloom & I had no idea what it […]
A few weeks ago, I saw this lady slipper orchid at a local shop & fell in love! Then I looked at the cost & saw that it was 35 bucks. I then fell out of love. $35? Really? A week later, I was back at the shop and the lady slipper was still there looking […]
I’ve wanted an orchid plant for many years but was always afraid that I would be unsuccessful at keeping it alive. Every time, I saw one for sale, I would contemplate seriously but did not want to spend all kinds of dollars only to watch it wilt away. A few weeks ago, while at Whole […]
I drove past a field of sunflowers yesterday & in my head, I was transported into some place far far away. Sunflowers are already the perfect youthful summer bloom but to see a huge field full of them is quite magical. I just wanted to get out & run through them all but because I’m […]
