My Own Inconsistencies Have Never Bothered Me

Day 65 - I've never been much into photographing flowers. I mean, they're lovely and all but a 2D image can seldom do justice to nature's original. In fact, I dare say the object is always nicer than its mere image.  Not to mention the real thing can often contribute by activating at least one other major sense as well.

   

Yet today, I snapped a picture of the pink orchid. I had to get up out of my chair and walk about three meters to the edge of the driveway. There's an empty coconut shell tied to the trunk of a small tree. It acted like a tiny nursery to encourage the flowers' growth.

So what happened to my moratorium on flower photography?  You needn't follow my rules.  Why should you, I don't?
