Description

Another Mexico shot--this one from some botanical gardens I visited a couple of years ago. These orchids just grow all over the place, hanging from other trees and plants. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous. The only trouble is they are alive with bugs and insects and other creatures. And those creepy, crawly things LOVE me and I came home with bites and bumps --itching and scratching like crazy. Not before I got tons of fotos, though!! The things we do....

WOW! Those colors are intense. When I look at this, they remind me of those wind-mill things you see in gardens, only they're real how surreal is that? Great shot, especially with that brilliant color!

Capital capture of the vividly colored wild orchids, growing helter skelter throughout the gardens. This is what they mean by exotic plants, Maz. Unfortunate about the little predatory critters that love to make life miserable for the visitor.

This is amazing! So vivid! Well, if something's vivid, you and your camera will find it, especially if they're vivid and gorgeous like these babies! This is amazing. Its so warm too, and I love that! Great work. I've never seen wild orchids before so that must be quite a sight and quite a place. This image rocks!
