That is a beautiful picture. I love close up pictures on nature. I asked my parents if I could save up money for a nice camera to do my own photography aroung the woods we have. But this is a wonderful picture.

I love Smithsonian Magazine. Your article on the orchid fair in Singapore changed my life. I have now joined the San Diego Orchid Society. Thank you.
