Third Week of the Native Orchid Season

Correct, I was there in early June, and one set had just finished blooming, and the other was in spike. There's a great colony at Jay Cooke park. The attendants and park rangers at the main building should be able to tell you where it is.

I have the Tamron 200-500mm and it isn't a bad lens especially for the price. It's just a huge piece of equipment that I only take it with me when I can keep it in the car. It's way too much for backpacking and hiking.

Very beautiful. Love it all..

Wonderful photos. I could imagine being there.

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks, Juana and Garden, and my apologies, Juana, for missing your post.

[Juana Jennifer]

Wow! You have very nice looking photos.

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks, Juana. I haven't been around much. I've been extremely busy, but it was nice to check in and find your encouraging note.

As always great photos! Wish you were still on Flikr, but I understand.

[ronaldhanko]

I go back to visit Fickr every so often to see what's going on and all I find are more changes for the worse and more reason not to back including continued complaints from members to whom Flickr pays not the slightest attention.

Its so frustrating. They didn't have to change it in the first place. They probably changed it because some new guy wanted to do something to make him/herself look useful to the company.
