This image works extremely well in B & W, But I like the colour version also. Almost monochrome too.

My summer would not be complete if I couldn’t see Fairy Slippers.

I remember that there were lots of black widows in Arizona. I was very surprised to see them here as well, although not nearly as many.

Yes, they are amazing little flowers. Who could imagine such a thing?

I like the little crab spiders. They seem to like the flowers too.

That was one of my Mother’s favorite flowers. She always looked forward to seeing them in bloom.

I am always happy when the wildflowers start to bloom and a lot of them started at about the same time.

I’m always happy to see these on your blog because Fairy Slipper is such an appropriate name. I hope fairies really do use them as shoes, sometimes. Ugh, we have a multitude of daddy longlegs and black widows outside all the time. I didn’t know daddy longlegs bit either, though. Ugh, I detest spiders, they’ve always just totally creeped me out but black widows especially. We’ve even had a couple inside over the 19 years we’ve been in this house.

Hi Montucky, A real treasure of an orchid. I especially like even the faded blossom, and also that shot of the spider hanging on. Have a truly wonderful day and a great weekend!
