Lady Slipper Orchids

 

This morning I glanced at the soft sunshine pouring through the forest

and wondered if it was kissing the lovely Lady slippers. Camera in hand I wandered into the woods. Sure enough sunlight gently graced the forest and landed on the lovely orchids. 

When I headed out, I thought I would be home soon for a cup of tea, but the forest beckoned me, wrapping an aura of rarified energy around me. I wander through trees, meadows and over hills. Green lush everywhere at this time of year. Flowers sprinkled throughout. Bird song as a companion. 

The forest has that ability, to wrap itself around us in a nurturing way, unwinding any tight places, bringing our breath gently home and mind quiet. It offers us peace and inspiration, inspiring awe for our beautiful world.

Presenting the Calypso Orchid

wandering through the forest

cloaked in shades of green

a glimpse of violet and gold

the tiny fairy slipper

it is always a joy to see them

like magic sprinkled here and there

these are all the same orchids

photographed in morning sun, sunset, wind blew them apart,

wind blew them together:

kissing 

heart shaped

orchids

i hope you enjoyed 

the lovely calypso orchid
