Laura pointed out these Ragged Fringed Orchids beside the road on our evening walk. Now here's the thing. There is a treacherous ditch I won't cross between me and the orchids so macro lenses are out of play. Also I have a reluctance to mingle with ticks since there was even more news yesterday on the nasty pathogens they carry. I photographed the orchids using my 1200mm telephoto lens followed by lots of cropping and enlarging.
