Paula, I’m not really a fan of flower shots, macro or otherwise. But I do like the music you chose! OK, I did like the image too. But only because it has purple in it- my late mother-in-law’s favorite color! 🙂

😀 Where is the trip to? I hope you will take as many stunning pics as you have planned and I look forward to seeing them. I am slaving, and will be slaving some more before my trip to Slovakia on the 20th July – that will be a well earned break 😀

Ah, slaving sucks, what is your line of job, if i may ask?
Going for 2 days to an old tin mining area and old city in middle of Malaysia, great limestone cliffs and jungle there too 😉
Well, almost weekend and 20th is getting closer too 🙂

Thank you so much Madhu for these little angels, though I am sure they are more ruscals than angels – a little Hanuman is so endearing. I am happy you liked my orchid macro :). I love macro photography and will try to dedicate more time to it.

Paula, super photo, the depth of field is great, and I can almost feel the velvety texture of the petals with the fingers of my eyes.
Here’s one from me for this week.

Lovely orchid. They’re a bit difficult to keep, but once I had one that got 13 flowers!
LikeLike
🙂 wow. This one has 12, but I only got it and I have no idea how long it will live and if I will be able to bring it back to life.
LikeLike
Mine had 2 when I got it, then the flowers died and it just looked like a pathetic stick for a looong time. All of a sudden it got 13 flowers at once.
LikeLike
When at first the flowers died did you cut off the branches and added fertilizers once a month?
LikeLike
No, I basically didn’t care about it at all. I just watered it every now and then, so it was some sort of miracle: like some orchid Jesus the plant rose from the dead, danced around and went up to heaven.
In the end I threw it away after it had died again, mainly because of the extreme disappointment and depression it led to when I realized that my orchid Jesus plant couldn’t turn water into wine…
