Orchid

There were a lot of beautiful orchids at this show, tempting just to pluck one. But I realized how serious they were when I saw the sign, "No orchidectomies."

Dutch Belted or Belted Galloway?

I am no expert on cattle and have never seen any with stripes. Lots of blacks and browns in solids and patches, but never a striped or belted one. This is one of a pair I discovered a few miles outside of my village here in Michigan. After a net search, I found that a few such breeds exist. Certainly not fine photography, but I would be curious how many have seen belted cattle previously (and where.)

Cactus.

Looks like it is ready to kiss someone.
