The Orchid Test

Today we were on a quest for my husband's favorite olive oil. It's imported from Lebanon and sold locally at the farmers' market during the summer. In the winter, we have to drive about eight miles to a small, family-owned florist to buy it. I slipped on some ice in the parking lot and fell. I'm okay - a little sore, but okay. My camera bag was slung over my shoulder at the time, and I feared that I'd damaged my camera. Again. So, I walked around the little greenhouse and photographed orchids. My camera is fine! The owner, who was unaware of my accident, invited me to come back any time with my camera. Here are their orchids (and one more of my amaryllis).

Gorgeous! Glad you (and the camera!) weren't hurt.

Thanks, Kristin. It was startling.

I'm glad you weren't hurt. Life can change in a second with something like that. Fine orchid pix, too.

I was wearing hiking boots, snowpants and a parka when I fell. The first should have provided more traction, but the last two cushioned my fall. I'm ready for spring any time.
