Something nice happened today
I was completely overwhelmed when I opened my mail this morning to discover that my orchid album on Web Shots has been chosen as an "Featured album of the day."
Sometimes it's the little things that can make a day!

No, done with one of the macro settings on my cam.
I placed the lens inside the blossom, actually pushing the flower parts aside to get it in close.
