Orchid

I photographed this plant before, but from a distance. It sits in the dining room window where the sun can shine on it, and I have found it fascinating to look at it under different lighting conditions. I was examining it closely today and decided to get the Micro Nikkor close-up lens for the Nikon, and I spent a fair amount of time composing pictures. I tried further away, and this closer version, and I like this one the best. This orchid is really a stunning plant when examined closely. I guess many orchids are.
