Roy, beautiful flowers as usual. I hope you are doing well; I've been taking a break this summer to spend time with my family. I hope you have some time off this summer also.

Good to hear from you Jeanean and Elizabeth.  Share some of your summertime photographs.

Jeanean: I really enjoy taking the photographs and am glad that you enjoy them.

Have a great summer, Elizabeth.  We do need to see some of your vacation pictures.  I know you must be having some interesting adventures.

Hi Roy, that is a wonderful orchid variety. Your collection of flowers must be so huge, it is mind boggling. How long have you been collecting?

Don, you have captured a very beautiful orchid. I keep my camera with me on the passenger side floor in case of any emergency picture that is begging to be taken.

Great picture, Roy. My girlfriend loves orchids, but don't all women love orchids? Aren't they kind of like diamonds? What woman doesn't like diamonds? lol

Thanks so much for your comments.  Have an outstanding day!

William:  I've been taking flower pictures for about two years.  It is a new hobby.  Dolores wanted me to find something that would keep me busy when I retire.

Thanks, Linda, for sharing your beautiful photograph.

Hi Roy, I thought this was another iris, but according to the comments, I guess it is an orchid. Have a wonderful weekend.
