Artist's Comments

A vanilla orchid in bloom at the Fuqua Orchid Center at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. The particular vine had a couple of beans hanging from it. It was growing in the rafters, 10-12 feet off the ground, probably to discourage people from picking the beans.

It looks like a spider! Fantastic job though, really crisp and clean!

It was a great place to shoot. Of course, having my own personal orchid expert didn't hurt.

There's a second shot that has a vanilla bean in it. But it looks like a half-rotten green bean and detracts from the beauty of the flower.

Have you gotten your computer woes sorted out:-?

Actually, I really like Strongbow. But I quit smoking in 1990.

There are still days where I want one. The way I got myself to quit was tobacco got too expensive. Whenever I get the urge, I just look at the prices now and laugh.
