Orchid in Chapel Hill

I talked to one of our colleagues, Eric, the other days on photography, our common interest. We had very nice discussion on what photographic objects would be. Of course, different photographer has different point of view. I particularly interest in very small things based on my educational background. All of a sudden, I realize that I do not have many photographs of small and beautiful objects in the blog. After looking over our collections, here is one of them.

We were invited to Robin's house to take photos for her orchids on 14th May 2006. Using a Nikon Micro lens, we were able to take a photo on a close-up look of a orchid flower. The core part of the flower in the picture is about one centimeter diameter. We can see clearly the fine detail of that area. Sometimes, we are wondering why the orchid takes so much effort to make the flower so artistic and precise.
