Summer 2020’s Orchids

Budding Orchids, New Year’s Eve 2020

Uncertain the eve of day
Till blooms the dawn.

Orchid Changes

Cee’s FOTD Challenge

9-14-2020: Please send prayers and good wishes to Cee, Chris, the girls, and their sweet cat, with hopes that their home will be spared the current wildfires.

These pink-tipped orchid blooms were a bright yellow when they first opened but slowly changed color to what they are now. They’ll lighten some more before they fade altogether.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8

A Flutter of Orchids

For Cee’s FOTD Challenge, a pink-edged flutter of orchids in the afternoon sun.

“Dragon” In Orchid

For Cee’s FOTD Photo Challenge, an orchid finds its inner dragon.

Winged Messengers

For Cee’s FOTD Challenge, a stationary flight of orchids, a presentiment of heaven’s messengers of eternal beauty and holy joy.

A Gang of Orchids

For Cee’s FOTD challenge, a consideration of how a gang of orchids manages to create a riot of colors right in front of your jaded eyes.
