It's a beautiful place you found so long ago, and now you must return in the spring to show us what that last orchid is! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-44680088099189644422015-09-24T07:44:00.943-04:002015-09-24T07:44:00.943-04:00Lovely photos and post .

I was in the company of a fine photographer and botanists who had stretched himself on the ground to photograph a small cluster of gentians. In order to get the narrow depth of field he required he was some distance from the flowers and using a telephoto lens. Just as he was about to release the shutter one of our group inadvertently stepped the little flowers. The photographer's reaction was unforgettable: in one movement he leapt to his feet and commenced jumping up and down shouting "Bloody Philistine!" at the top of his voice!John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-10584325458368109432015-09-24T03:06:33.725-04:002015-09-24T03:06:33.725-04:00The Monarch photo is so good of it drinking someth...The Monarch photo is so good of it drinking something from the sand. I always enjoy seeing their intriguing black bodies with the white spots like the edges of their wings. Such cool design. The fringed Gentians are amazing, I admire your photographic skills.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-71831597494207278062015-09-23T20:41:31.104-04:002015-09-23T20:41:31.104-04:00Those fringed gentians certainly are beautiful flo...Those fringed gentians certainly are beautiful flowers.
