Happy National Orchid Day

A nice way to end the weekend

As pink as a bottle of Nestle strawberry milk #orchids #spring #flowers

Orchids are magical.

I love orchids. They’re mysterious. It always feels like they’re staring back at me, and I wonder what they are thinking.

I’m enjoying the warm weather today. Sitting in the park. Listening to disco and Big Mama Thornton. Enjoying life.

The golden time of day

No worries

At the end of the weekend

On the first day of spring, waiting for the season’s beauty to unfurl.
