I like the way the serrated edges of the leaves echo the cuts in the flower’s edge. Of course, the dew drops add to the overall effect. It’s a lovely image.

Thank you, Linda. It was pretty wet there but worth it for those dew drops along the petal edges.

There are enough folks out there with pink hair these days that you wouldn’t attract all that much attention I think. You and Eve should get matching dos.

You guys can have the dos and we’ll take the don’ts.

As do I. Maybe you have seen this from a California photographer. The orchid is much safer. 😀
