Winner by Default

My Favorite Orchid of the Day

This weekend I was hoping for some awesome action skiing shots. I love my fingers too much to subject them to the extreme temps of shooting pictures with bare hands in eleven degree weather. So, the cool skiing shots got downgraded to quick point and shoots to minimize the frostbite. I had hopes that the Meijer Garden's Orchid Show would present the photo opportunities I missed on the slopes with the added benefit of being indoors with heat! What seemed like a simple solution, became anything but. Taking pictures of orchids almost felt like taking pictures in eleven degree temps, it was painful in a similar way. Nothing really felt right, nothing looked right, so in the end this is my favorite photo of the weekend...by default.

My excuse, my fingers were still frozen from the skiing!
