    The Ghost Orchid is a very rare native orchid of F The Ghost Orchid is a very rare native orchid of Florida. 

It has many unique features, but one of the features I find most fascinating is that it doesn’t have any leaves. If the plant isn’t in bloom, you’d have no idea there was an orchid on the tree. 

At night the orchid emits a beautiful gentle scent. It is pollinated by the giant sphinx moth. The moth has a 6″ proboscis that enables it to reach into the long spur of the orchid flower. The orchid is on the state list of endangered species.

📷Ghost Orchid Twin 2 was taken with a Deardorff 5×7 camera on T-Max 100 film. Camera settings  f/45 | 72mm Schneider XL lens | 20 seconds

    This was another early morning shot that was taken This was another early morning shot that was taken before the Merced River became a rushing torrent of melted snow. Because the river was calm Clyde was able to use the reflection as part of the composition. 

With the clear blue sky he used a red filter, which accentuated the up-thrust of El Capitan into a dark sky, making for a very clean composition.

    As I was walking down a trail in Myakka State Park As I was walking down a trail in Myakka State Park, I came across this old oak tree but couldn’t find a good composition for photographing the entire tree. 

As I circled the tree searching for a composition, I found myself enjoying the scene of the grassland embraced by the rugged oak limb, so I set up my camera and took the photograph.

    I am an ardent fan of NASA and anything that has t I am an ardent fan of NASA and anything that has to do with the stars and the universe. I was invited to photograph the shuttle that carried John Glenn’s second trip into outer space. 

It also carried a scientist friend's project: pregnant fish. They were the first species to give birth in space. The object was to see if fish could be a renewable food source for space travel. 

Watching the shuttle liftoff toward the heavens was a very powerful experience. 

While watching, I was inspired to the realization that we can do anything we set our minds to and this gave me a wonderful hope for the future. It was a great experience.
