Orchids, rainbows and winter morning light

A few of my recent iPhoneography blogs of late have been a mixed bag - posts without a theme.  The theme of this one is not theme - just fragments from the week including; orchids, a double rainbow and the morning light as we head towards the shortest day of the year.

A few more photos of orchids on the block.

Winter morning light.

  3. LA, P and MC - sorry for my delayed response to your generous visit and comments. LA - isn't it grand to know that we have a balance - I just love the idea that soon you will be tipping light back our way. P - courtesy of Fiona's dad there are many colours of crucifix orchids on our block. Glad the white is settling in. If you want others just say. MC - in such dark days we need to remember there is also magic even when one's heart aches. Peace. B
