[ # ] Magic, or so… Orchid in the mirror…
March 2nd, 2008 under Useless rants, Useless opinions, Useless stuff, Totally Useless



…orchid in the mirror…, originally uploaded by tatyveli.

The latest break with writing my blogs was due to some total mental exhaustion. I felt unable to write whatsoever, not only about totally useless, or usefull things, but also about cats, or about my skulls, etc.etc.

On the 28th of February I was able to take several flower shots and wanted to share some of these with you now. The above one is the one with magic. You will be able to view it Large and on Black if you click on the link under the photo, and on the next page - on the link where is written: View on Black

This one is an experiment with again a mirror, and not much light and no flash. What is fascinating me here is the illusion that created itself somehow…Check the leaf coming from behind the orchid and ending above the left hand side of the mirror :) No layers used or Post Processing whatsoever to create it… Tell me what do you think please, and how did this happen? I have no answer for it myself and kept re-playing in my mind over and over again how I took this capture, but there is no explanation for it whatsoever. So, I would love to hear your thoughts in regards.

...spring beauties bokeh...

This one here is taken on the same day, and in the garden house of a friend of mine. It’s all covered with glass, and there is heating, and due to it they are enjoying some of the most beautiful plants and flowers the year around…;) and yup, some strike it rich :D … As here in The Netherlands is too cold yet for these beauties to bloom outside.

Hoping that all of you are enjoying your weekend and the start of March. Lets hope that Spring will soon be here and the sunshine will be more that it is now. We all need light, and the sun is the best provider of light. Not only for the vitaly important vitamine D, but also to fight the winter depression. And the winter depression is mostly due to lack of sun shine… :) Talk to you soon!

Beautiful photos. I’ve gotten a deeper appreciation of orchids since I’ve been in Florida this winter.

The mirror photo is surreal, showing us life exists on more planes than one.

Beautiful blossoms from a beautiful you. :D

Hugs, JJ
