Fairy Slipper

Here in northern Idaho two varieties of wild orchid may be found.

This one is a Fairy Slipper.

The whole plant is about 4 inches tall, so they are easy to miss.

I was pleased to find several of them growing near the route of my favorite walk last week,

And even more pleased that I was able to make a good capture!

The flower is a lovely orchid purple, but I also like it in black and white.

Light and Water

This is skunk cabbage growing in a stream.

I love the light effect!

Here is another shot to give an idea of the context.

Office Building Bench

This bench is in the lobby of a small office building where a friend of mine has her office. The plants are real. There is a lot of natural light. Every time I walk in I sense peace.
