Orchid in bloom

This little orchid has been in bloom for about 2 weeks now. The tag says it is SL Psyche "China" L, cinnabarina x S. coccinea.

I processed this photo in my newly loaded photo editor, Paint Shop Pro Ultimate, Photo x2. It was advertised at half price and few other goodies as in my earlier post. The savings vanished when I could not load the set up cd to my computer. I needed a new cd reader/burner, and my Techie installed this and loaded the program for me. I spent a bit of time trying to find my way around... I have a lot to learn about it!

Flower Petal Art

While out shooting for the Victoria Grid Project last week I found some flowers to try shooting in macro and super macro mode, for Chrissie's Flower Petal Art group. The kale is not allowed, since its a leaf.

I made some applesauce today. The days has been sunny and lovely, deceptively warm in appearance. Was quite cool when I went out.

West Coast Snow Boots

Our snow was 10 inches deep, wet and heavy. This does not slow down the dedicated worker, shopper, walker... This lovely pair of boots were walking through the heavy snow, a lovely flowery handbag, and an umbrella to match, in the true West Coast way of dealing with the trauma of such a big dump of snow.

We didn't barbeque today... but wait 'till tomorrow... the snow should be gone.
