PICTURE TO PONDER Behind Schedule - EXPLANATION
My MacIntosh computer went into Breakdown last weekend. While I'm making decisions on repair or replacement, I'm working out programs and connections in my older, much slower, computer which I'm fortunate to still have. In the meantime please be patient if time and delivery is somewhat erratic.



TODAY'S PHOTO -
Small orchid in greenhouse at the American Orchid Society Gardens in Delray Beach, FL

As I went through the slides of the photos I took at the AOS Gardens last weekend, this one got my attention.

Firstly, many of the orchids were similar to ones that have already been featured in past issues of Picture to Ponder. I, therefore, did not want to use those specific species
.

Secondly, though the flower is small, it gives off a very powerful feeling, I think. I suspect, in part, it's the strong diagonals in the photo. There is also a strong contrast between the colors in the flower and the green, background leaves.

SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES
-
will be back once I get my computer issues settled and I'm back on target with a computer that "moves fast."

Have a great weekend.

AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from Sondra,

who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing of her father done by me?

Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee Kleckner on our AUDIO LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice there also. A sentence or two is more than enough, if you are person of a few words.

I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder and on the testimonial page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself at (214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish, e-mail me to set a time and I can call you and 3-way you in and simply listen while you talk.
