Cattleya lawrenceana is an epiphytic species with a lush plant, claviculated pseudobulbs of 20 centimeters in height and bearing a leaf of 20 centimeters in length, oblong-lanceolate, thick and with a crease in the central part. Flowers 12 centimeters long, with narrow petals and sepals, pink to violet-magenta. Pointed lip, purplish-purple. It comes from Serra da Neblina, state of Roraima, Brazil. It blooms in late fall or winter.
The cattleya orchid normally blooms only once a year and its flowers last an average of 10 to 30 days. But if it is well cared for and fertilized correctly, it may have a second flowering in some species.

The day I slipped a macro lens onto the body of my camera, I became addicted to studying flowers. The curl of a flower petal, the veins on a leaf and the fragile beauty of the thin filaments holding the pollen filled anthers made my heart beat more quickly. The beauty in the world is astounding. Or as Ansel Adams said, "I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder."

Although the 1987 decision settled the question of the scientific name of the genus, the common name "amaryllis" continues to be used. Bulbs sold as amaryllis and described as ready to bloom for the holidays belong to the genus Hippeastrum. "Amaryllis" is also used in the name of some societies devoted to the genus Hippeastrum. Separate common names are used to describe the genus Amaryllis, e.g., "Naked Lady"
For the modern vs. vintage, I chose to shot a candle with flame for vintage along with the desk lamp connect to electric. For those few days that Broken Arrow and Tulsa was powerless the old candles and battery radio was nice to have.

The sculpture is growing every week. So I plan to go back in a few weeks time to see how it is progressing :-).
Did I ever mention I love Lilies and of course Tom Petty. Title from from the lyrics, You Don't Know How It Feels.
Filaments - Hummingbirds are some of my favorite subjects. When I photograph a subject that I don't have to put too much effort to find, I instead like to challenge myself to capture something unique like behavior or detail. In this case, I headed out to the coast deliberately on a bright overcast day, as this lighting seems to bring out the iridescence of hummingbirds best, allowing me to capture maximum detail.
I had a blast photographing Allen's Hummingbirds for the first time with a mirrorless rig. What I didn't count on was taking over 3,000 pics unintentionally - 20 frames per second gives too many images in some cases. However, a benefit of that is you get every pose you could ask for. Was very happy to capture every single feather filament of this hummingbird!
