Orchid Closeup on the back deck of our San Franciscso home 20240315-100537A

            Over the years Melody and I have seen many beautiful orchids around our city and surrounding gardens. One of our favorite venues is the Conservatory of Flowers on the other side of city from our San Francisco home. For the last few years we, also, see beautiful orchids up close and personal right in our own home. During winter months, we move our few orchid plants indoor at night and our to our sun room in the daytime. 
I made this macro photo of an orchid flower on our deck. This is the original image that shows the light background. I think I posted the cropped version previously on Flickr. Besides macro setting on my Canon Powershot SX50, I used spot focus to get this exposure.
