This is the third in an irregular series of random musings by this ol’ photographer/artist. “REALITY. What a concept!” I remember George Carlin using that line in his stand up routines must have been back in the 60s. And yes, what a concept reality is. I have alluded to some of my conversations regarding reality [...] As I scan back over my “recent” posts, I realize that the way I opened my last post could just as easily be the opening for this one. I started my last blog post by saying: “Sometimes things just happen and the next thing you know, two weeks have gone by without a blog post. [...] Sometimes things just happen and the next thing you know, two weeks have gone by without a blog post. And I find myself wondering… what was I doing the past two weeks.

While orchids are the focus, they are by no means the only show in town. As always, [...] We’re half way through January already.
