The Fairy Slippers are absolutely one of my favorite wild flowers (they actually trump the plum blossoms; yes, I know that the plums are not wild; except for the fact that when my granddaughter, Fiona, is in the back yard, it gets kind of wild).

(You may wonder why most of my quotes seemingly have nothing to do with photography. It isn't because I don't appreciate photography quotes; I do. And Suzanne Cummings is a gold mine when it comes to great photography quotes. The reason for many of my quotes is to constantly remind myself that my main responsibility is to try to become a better person. And, even if my goal is to become a better photographer, as I have quoted Jay Maisel before, "If you want to become a better photographer, become a better person.")
The first principle of nonviolent action is that of noncooperation with everything humiliating.

@Tracy: I never saw one in California. They are not uncommon in the shaded back country areas of the Pacific NW.
@Judy: Yep; Fiona Skye; her dad is big into Scotland; her mom sees it more as being Celtic, and I like that (I would call my own spirituality Celtic).
@Don: Thanks, Don.
@Susan: Agreed!
@zOOm: Personally, I think that it is a fabulous lens, Florence. It is tack sharp and is so easy to micro focus. I have no need (or desire) for the expensive Nikon 105mm VR.
@observing: Thank you.
