TODAY'S PHOTOS -
unidentified orchids are again from our visit last week to
the American Orchid Society Gardens.
I am intrigued by the shapes and images of this orchid and
there was something about the photo
with several flowers that called to me. It is somewhat
chaotic or busy, filled with beautiful colors and shapes.
Though not a "fine" photo, I got the feeling and
message of "Lost in the Crowd." I wanted you also
to experience the "full scene." In addition, I wished
to give you the opportunity to focus on the individual flower,
thus the photo
on the right.
Once again, my way of resolving my "which one?"
conflict is to present you with both. Since the time this
question came up several issues ago, have you paid attention
to the ways you resolve challenges?
Back to today's developing theme - "Lost in the Crowd".
Husband Sam's immediate response was, "Lost in the crowd
on 5th Avenue in Manhattan."
My thoughts have included, "Lost in the crowd of: thoughts,
to-dos, desires, responsibilities, even sensory perceptions..."
I wonder if there could be such a thing as lost in the crowd
of joy? Would that feel any lighter, or is it the "lost"
that's the heavy part?
Have you felt lost in a crowd? How have you found your way
out?
I'm thinking as I conclude here today, one way is to focus
on one image at a time, as I did in the second photo here.
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE - Issue
89
"Oh, they look like Christmas tree lights -- how they
glow! I love it!" Marney
K. Makridakis
"Today's photograph was so beautiful that I couldn't
let it pass without comment. I see a row of cheeky little
faces boldly and mischievously inquisitive. I can almost hear their
impudent searching questions. These little ladies will
seek out the secrets of your soul and leave you laughing.
Orchids are my favourite flowers and these are perfection."
Maria
Doherty
"I have to comment Sheila.......can you see the difference
in shade of yellow from yesterdays
PTP [the pink and green leaves]
to today's
[the pink and yellow phaelanopsis]?
This picture is totally a joy to look at and drink in.
It makes me feel so good, light, and sweet!!! This shade
of yellow with the mix of white is so soothing to the eye
and has toned down the color in a creamy way. I feel
invigorated to wanting to share this picture with friends,
or try to pick those flowers as something to give to tell
someone how special they are :-) LOVE THIS PICTURE!"

Ciocci, who gave us the color
analysis on Friday.
