Saint Swithin"s Day

Southside Place, Texas

The Polaroids that hold us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St Swithin's Day

lyrics by Billy Bragg

this is a lyrical slipper orchid, paphopedillum Saint Swithins, that I hoped would come in for this competition
it gets more lyrical when viewed at a larger size

thanks, Bart
I dusted off my Viso & bellows for this one
as I almost never stop down lenses much with the M9, I didn't realize how much junk was on the sensor

What a lovely picture, it's just gorgeous, Arthur !
I see you shot with the Elmar, did you deploy your Visoflex with the Bellows, too ?
