Flower Photo of the Week: Orchids in the Dark

Strange things happen when the camera and I run across something like this.

At the Okinawa International Orchid(蘭) Show, this beauty was on display.

It was in a special, dark room and, I wasn't letting this shot get away.

Using a tripod, Pentax KD10 and Pentax 18-250 lens at 18mm, I took the photo.

In a rush, to move on before the next group of visitors passed through,

I never got the name of the special flowers.

So, we'll just have to call them orchids in the dark, for now.

They should send a note-taker along with me.  Dontcha think ?

When It's Wet in the Forest (Photos)

On a rainy day, when the forest is wet, you can walk quietly.

The wildlife won't be out but, you can hear the waterfalls.

Streams of fast-moving water splash over the rocks.

And they swirl around them, making white patches in dark areas.

When everything is wet, brown colors look dark but, greens look greener.

When it's wet in the forest, you can have the place all to yourself.  Try it sometime.  It's cool.
