This tiny little flower graced the forest floor somewhere off River Rd in Potomac, MD. Ligia and I were walking through that forest (which we love), and I was taking photos, as usual.

Fly to me
Broke through 250,000 views over at Zooomr today. It’s a nice milestone: a quarter million views. My thanks to those who viewed, faved or commented on my photos! I reached 100,000 views back on February the 3rd, so it’s quite a delightful surprise to see that I got 150,000 views in little more than 2 months and a half.
Here’s one of my favorite recent photographs. This orchid is called “Dragon Wings”, and can be found at the National Arboretum in Washington, DC. Ligia and I visited it a few weeks ago, and I used the Canon EOS 30D to photograph it.
More petunia photos
I’m posting more petunia photos. Can’t help it, they look so good — the poor things are still going strong as I write this, and it’s already October. Ligia must have done something right taking care of them. Incidentally, she grew them from seeds she harvested from last year’s crop of petunias. You should have seen her taking care of these beauties from the time they were seedlings.
We thought we’d lose them a few weeks ago when these green butterfly larvae infested them. Those little nasties would eat both leaves and flowers, and there’d be no end of them! We’d pick them off the flowers and squish them, and there’d be more in the morning… Thankfully, they disappeared, and our petunias came back to life, more glorious than ever, as you can see.
Photographs of petunias
Here are a few photos of petunias that we grew ourselves. I’ll post some more in the next few days. If you like petunias, you’re in luck! 🙂
