Flowers Along Oatka Creek
In July of 2011 I wandered the shores of Oatka Creek, parking behind the old Ronzo’s Grocery Store in Garbutt. Generally, I guess I’d prefer to have my fly rod in hand as opposed to my Canon, but in July, the fishing is a little rough as water levels drop. Here’s a couple of flowers …
Phalaenopsis Mini Orchids
I shot Phalaenopsis Mini Orchids in my basement today, since, you know, it’s cold out here in Rochester, and I haven’t been able to get over to the Lamberton Conservatory in a while. I picked these up for $11.99 at @wegmans yesterday for Valentines Day. My wife loved them. kevin
