sunlight and shadows

In late February, the sunlight is becoming beautiful. Even early in the morning it is bright and happy. I tried to find the best way to photograph it. Is it shadows or shine or refracted colors that capture it best? Whatever, its starting to feel nice.

  3. Do you mean the one with the orchid in it? I got it at Home Depot. That poor orchid - I was starting to re pot it last summer and got distracted and never finished. Its just sitting bare-root in the big pot. It doesn't seem to mind, so I haven't rushed to finish the job.

  5. Its a great Laeliocattleya called "Trick or Treat". An old variety that blooms very reliably on every new shoot. My favorite orchid.
