    Another Blind squirrel scenario

    Finding a decent image purely by accident is somewhat frustrating...especially if it's caused by accident.

    I had this pot of orchids that fell off the stand and broke several blooms off the stem. Wanting to salvage
    the shoot, I just held one with a pair of forceps and lucked into this. A viewpoint that I've never pulled
    off to my satisfaction. Sometimes ya just get lucky!

    I hate it when that happens. While I was concentrating on getting a shot of this Skipper, I completely missed the Thomasidae Spider lurking in the background.

    I'd just as soon be lucky as good. It's just so darned unreliable

    In the process of stacking this orchid...I found that this one looked decent as well.
    I'm thinking that I like the soft one better.

    I like the top one better, William....it is actually beautiful and recognizable as an orchid. 'Reminds me to take a shot of my little orchid that has only one flower. Thank you.
